Texas will not kill the state’s booming hemp THC industry after Gov. Greg Abbott (R) on Sunday evening vetoed a bill to ban THC throughout the state. Championed by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) — who made banning hemp-derived THC his top priority for the year — Senate Bill 3 would have banned products containing any amount of THC, even when sourced from industrial hemp.

The governor was under intense pressure to veto the bill from hemp advocates, veteran groups, and business owners. Despite passing both legislative bodies and garnering support from most of the state’s conservative lawmakers, recent polling showed the proposed ban was not popular even among Republican voters. Advocates additionally said they delivered over 180,000 petition signatures and over 5,000 handwritten letters this month asking the governor to veto the proposal.

The veto came less than an hour ahead of the deadline for the governor’s decision on the issue.

Jonathan Miller US Hemp Roundtable has this to say..

Full Statement from Jonathan Miller, General Counsel, U.S. Hemp Roundtable:
Last night’s gubernatorial veto of hemp-killing SB 3 in Texas should prove to be a seminal moment for hemp farmers and businesses across the country. Members of Congress, Governors and state legislators must take notice that hemp bans are not only bad policy, but they are also deeply unpopular, even among the most conservative voters in a red state like Texas.

With a special session that will tackle this issue on July 21, the correct response is robust regulation, not misguided prohibition. Governor Greg Abbott, who took this wise and historic action, said it best in his veto statement: “Texas must enact a regulatory framework that protects public safety, aligns with federal law, has a fully funded enforcement structure, and can take effect without delay.”

The U.S. hemp industry is deeply grateful to Governor Abbott, but even more grateful to the Texas hemp organizations that led this fight, and especially to the hundreds of thousands of Texas Hemp Supporters who made their voices heard over the past several weeks.  We will remain united in our advocacy to ensure that the Texas legislature heeds the Governor’s directive to pass legislation during the special session that is “strict, fair and legally sustainable.”

This victory was only possible because of the tireless efforts of Texas advocates and the overwhelming response from Hemp Supporters like you, but our work isn’t done.
Texas lawmakers are expected to revisit hemp regulation in a special session beginning July 21. We will continue to fight for fair, science-based, and enforceable rules, not harmful bans.
Stay tuned for updates and future action alerts. And, as always, thank you for your advocacy!
