Have you looked into this in Texas? We have regulatory and fraud enforcement failures, too.

As an example, since you @tedcruz voted in favor of Frankenstein hemp-derived THC, what says you about the regulatory failure of industrial hemp in Texas?

A 2025 review of 56 entities listed by the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) received in a FOIA request (see pic) as “industrial hemp farms” reveals systemic regulatory failure and a breakdown in basic verification and enforcement.

Of the 56 listings reviewed:
•3 businesses were permanently closed
•3 were duplicate listings
•3 listed incorrect addresses or cities
•11 were not relevant or appropriate to be listed as hemp farms
•16 were businesses primarily selling food, beverages, cosmetics, or vape products
•5 were retail smoke shops

In total, a majority of entities listed as “industrial hemp farms” were not legitimate agricultural producers, but instead retail or consumer-product businesses OR did not exist at all.

This indicates: No meaningful vetting of applicants; No routine verification of physical locations; No enforcement of statutory distinctions between farming, manufacturing, and retail.

It’s a registry that functions as a paper shield rather than an oversight tool.

The result is a state-sanctioned registry that misrepresents retail THC sellers as agricultural producers, undermining food safety laws, consumer protection, and legislative intent.

This is not a loophole. It is an ENFORCEMENT failure when more than half of Texas’ ‘industrial hemp farm’ listings aren’t farms at all, many are smoke shops, vape sellers, or closed businesses. That’s a regulatory failure.

P.S. - Texas hemp oversight scandal: Sid Miller’s chief of staff Todd Smith was indicted, and later pled guilty, to felony bribery tied to selling access to hemp licenses, then was rehired by Miller to lead the same agency. Say whattttttt???

Who is actually growing hemp in Texas? What statutory or regulatory safeguards exist to ensure that “hemp grower” licenses are issued only to bona fide agricultural producers, and how often are those safeguards enforced? If most listed “hemp farms” aren’t farms at all, is the state regulating agriculture…or who/which shady/foreign entities might be laundering retail THC sales through an agricultural registry???

@TexasScorecard When will @KenPaxtonTX enforce the THC laws against the hemp industry’s addictive, brain damaging products?

[KFinn, MD @CoDoc442]

@DallasExpress Now do hemp

@DallasExpress Now do Texas hemp/vape and edible products. @CitizensSafe @LtGovTX @KenPaxtonTX The mislabeling and chemicals inside are UNREAL.

[JatxER @JenatxR]

@TheDankInformer Hell yes. Texas Supreme Court just denied a rehearing on their hemp THC ruling too. Now time for Department of State health services and Attorney General‘s office to get to work because they don’t have to wait for a federal ban!

Bye, hempsters!

@wendy_mcroberts @txcannaco Some of us like our guns. And freedom is informed consent without mislabeling and Frankenstein hemp with chemicals, Wendeeee.

[JatxER @JenatxR]

@SPrather3 @txcannaco @jamestalarico @VikkiGoodwinTX Say bye to your guns

[JatxER @JenatxR]

@wendy_mcroberts @txcannaco Icky Vikki? No thanks!

@VikkiGoodwinTX Gross!!!

@liz466816056391 @learnaboutsam Yeah, Liz. No one is holding you back.

[JatxER @JenatxR]

“Still legal in the interim” is doing a LOT of heavy lifting here.

The injunction being lifted doesn’t magically equal “all clear.” It means the state regains authority to act, and the industry is now arguing over timing and procedure while pretending enforcement risk disappeared. That’s not legal certainty. That’s “please keep selling product while we litigate.”

And now how every update gets framed as a “huge win” even when the court protection literally expires on May 28. 😂

If your entire business model depends on arguing over whether intoxicating THC products are technically illegal yet… not the flex ya think it is.

The Republican Party of Texas is proud to welcome Nate Sheets as a sponsor of the 2026 Republican Party of Texas Convention!

A fifth-generation Texan, U.S. Navy veteran, entrepreneur, and conservative leader, Nate has built a career rooted in faith, free enterprise, and agriculture. From growing Nature Nate’s into America’s leading branded honey company to now serving as the Republican nominee for Texas Agriculture Commissioner, he has consistently fought for Texas farmers, ranchers, producers, and rural communities.  

We’re grateful for Nate’s support as thousands of grassroots conservatives from across Texas gather in Houston for the largest Republican convention in the nation.

Thank you, Nate Sheets, for standing with the Republican Party of Texas and supporting the grassroots movement that keeps Texas strong.

@TheDankInformer Oh, but those lying sacks are for “regulation.” And “none of our products have hurt people.” - HTH pansy ass, TX Hemp Biz council ringleader to TX legislators. 🤡

@UrielWatcher @VikkiGoodwinTX She has stood on stage with Greg Cesar who is their TX socialist poster boy. And we saw what he was for when he was on Austin City Council. Downtown was a homeless slum and he liked it

@jamiecampbell @SullySullivanAZ Silly Sully must be used his Frankenstein hemp to think anyone believes what he posted. I guess a guy can dream.

Ken Paxton is a true Texas patriot who will fight with us in DC to put America First.

James Talarico is a low-T weirdo who thinks there are six biological sexes.

I know who I'm voting for...

[JatxER @JenatxR]

Interesting how many of the ‘Texas hemp farmers’ seem to come with former Florida GOP operatives, national PACs, interstate lobbying networks, and million-dollar political campaigns attached. Those cowboy boots sure sound like Florida flip-flops. Here’s who met with @GovAbbottPress @GregAbbott_TX to get him to veto SB3 and keep synthetic hemp crap alive in Texas.

[JatxER @JenatxR]

@anarchismo @TheDankInformer Why do you think they have all kinds of kiddy flavors and packaging? To hide the rank taste of chemicals.
