Texas THC Ban: Governor Abbott Faces Growing Opposition and Urgent Deadline
As the deadline approaches for Texas Governor Greg Abbott to decide on a controversial bill banning most THC products, public sentiment continues to stir. Prominent figures, including former football star Ricky Williams, are rallying against the ban, urging the governor to veto it. Recent polling data shows bipartisan opposition among Texas voters, with concerns raised by military veterans and families about potential regression to opioids or illegal markets. Advocates for hemp have gathered nearly 150,000 signatures in support of the veto. As the governor remains silent, the debate intensifies, drawing attention from both supporters and opponents of the legislation.
