Governor Greg Abbott's veto of Senate Bill 3 is hailed as a landmark decision for Texas, protecting the cannabis industry and ensuring access to THC products for patients and entrepreneurs. The veto is particularly celebrated by advocates, including former NFL star Ricky Williams, who stressed that cannabis assists with PTSD, pain management, and supports small businesses. The bill threatened to criminalize legal hemp-derived THC products, jeopardizing over 53,000 jobs and the economic vitality related to hemp-derived wellness products. Abbott's decision has sparked relief among supporters across the state.
This is a major win for Texans. Governor Abbott showed real leadership in choosing people over politics. This plant helps veterans manage PTSD and fuels thousands of small businesses.
SB 3 sought to criminalize hemp-derived THC products that are currently legal under federal law, effectively pulling the plug on an entire industry segment.
