Senate Bill 3 is a direct threat to veterans, workers, and small businesses across Dallas. If Governor Abbott allows this bill to become law, hemp-derived THC products will be banned across Texas starting September 1. That means hundreds of local businesses could be forced to close, and thousands of people who rely on these products for their health and well-being will be left without options.

This bill was pushed through the legislature with fear, not facts. It ignores the voices of veterans who use THC to manage chronic pain and PTSD. It ignores the efforts of Dallas business owners who have built a legal, transparent, and regulated industry. It ignores the investments made by Texas farmers who have worked hard to grow this market from the ground up.

Veterans groups, hemp farmers, and health advocates have spoken clearly. These products are helping people avoid opioids. They are creating jobs. They are improving lives. Dallas cannot afford to lose that.

We are calling on Governor Greg Abbott to veto Senate Bill 3 before more harm is done. He has the power to protect access, protect livelihoods, and stand with the people of Dallas who are asking to be heard.

Sign your name to urge Governor Abbott to stop this harmful ban and protect the veterans, families, and small businesses who depend on these products every day.
