Texas hemp businesses, employees, consumers, and farmers are facing growing uncertainty due to potential restrictions and bans on legal hemp-derived products. Thousands of Texans rely on the hemp industry for jobs, income, wellness products, agriculture, retail, manufacturing, and small business opportunities.

We support responsible regulation, consumer safety, proper testing, labeling requirements, and transparency within the hemp industry. However, outright bans and excessive restrictions could negatively impact small businesses, local economies, and responsible adult consumers across Texas.

The Texas hemp industry has created thousands of jobs, generated millions in economic activity, and provided consumers access to legal, lab-tested hemp products under existing federal and state guidelines. Rather than prohibition, we believe lawmakers should focus on fair regulation, safety standards, age restrictions, product testing, and compliance enforcement.

This petition encourages Texas lawmakers to support responsible hemp regulation instead of broad bans that may harm legitimate businesses and working families.

We ask state representatives to:
• Support fair and reasonable hemp regulation
• Protect Texas jobs and small businesses
• Preserve consumer access to legal hemp products
• Encourage product testing, transparency, and compliance standards
• Support responsible industry oversight instead of prohibition

By signing this petition, you are supporting Texas businesses, workers, consumers, and a more balanced approach to hemp regulation in our state.
