Fed up Texan

I love the people of Texas but not the taxes, tariffs, and tolls.

I don’t use hemp, but I’ll defend your right to.

Now Washington wants to wipe out a $25 billion industry and override hemp laws in 25 states. Kentucky regulates hemp responsibly. We allow a simple 5mg hemp drink because adults can make their own decisions. We also know legal, regulated products are always safer than pushing everything back to the black market.

To the lawmakers pushing this backward policy: we tried prohibition. It failed. Let adults make their own choices, stay out of businesses, and leave state laws alone.

Most people don’t realize it, but cannabis was federally legal for most of American history. Hemp was a staple crop in the 1600s—so essential that the Virginia Colony once required farmers to grow it. Even George Washington and Thomas Jefferson grew hemp.

By the 1800s, cannabis was a common medicine, listed in the U.S. Pharmacopeia and prescribed for pain, insomnia, anxiety, and more—long before the government claimed it had “no medical use.”

The shift came in the early 1900s, when fear, racism, and propaganda turned a useful plant into a forbidden one. The 1937 Marihuana Tax Act marked the start of federal prohibition—not because of science, but because of stigma.

Texas just handed the state a weapon against parents.

They called it “parental rights,” but the amendment forces you to “nurture and protect” without defining either term. That means bureaucrats and pro pharma lawyers can decide what those words mean.

Refuse a vaccine and they can say you failed to “protect.”
Homeschool your child and they can say you failed to “nurture.”
Your constitutional rights as a parent can vanish with one courtroom interpretation.

This amendment is not a shield for families. It is an open door for state power.

If Texas can redefine parenting by decree, every state can follow.
We cannot ignore this.

@RedEagleUpdates Absolutely.

@DanPatrick @realDonaldTrump Good luck with that.

@WallStreetApes Imagine that…

[Charles Booker @Booker4KY]

Mitch McConnell is using every minute he has left in the Senate to screw regular folks over.

In the current Senate bill to reopen the government, Mitch snuck in language that would crush the growing hemp industry. At a time when small businesses and farmers are barely hanging on, we need leaders who will look out for us, not kick hardworking people off the cliff.

Keep an eye on this.

As a member of the Kentucky General Assembly who worked directly on the legislation that established our commonwealth’s hemp regulatory framework, I am deeply disappointed to see Congress attempting to undo years of careful, bipartisan work to build a responsible hemp market in Kentucky.

For the past several years, our commonwealth has led the nation in crafting sensible policies that protect consumers and support Kentucky farmers. We put in place strict testing, labeling, and packaging requirements. We established age limits and product safety standards. We listened to parents, law enforcement, and small business owners and we struck a balance between market access and public safety.

Now, the U.S. House of Representatives is considering legislation that would disregard all that progress to take us back to prohibition—a policy that is proven not to work.

By working to criminalize Kentucky-grown and regulated hemp products, Congress is not protecting children. They are punishing farmers, entrepreneurs, and consumers who have played by the rules. This move represents the worst kind of Washington overreach, a top-down, one-size-fits-all mandate that erases the work of state leaders who have already addressed their own issues.

Kentucky’s hemp farmers trusted our federal delegation when they championed the 2018 Farm Bill. They invested their livelihoods in this industry. Our state legislature took that foundation and built a successful regulatory model that has been implemented by other states.

I am grateful for the courageous effort that Senator Rand Paul put forth to try to remove these problematic provisions in the Senate. Likewise, Congressman Thomas Massie has always been a strong advocate for the Hemp Industry, having filed the Industrial Hemp Farming Act dating back to 2013.

We’ve come so far and it would be an egregious mistake to destroy the progress. I urge Congress to withdraw this misguided language, meet with the farmers and small business owners they’re putting at risk, and work with the states— not against them— to build the clear, consistent federal standards this industry deserves.

Kentucky got hemp right. Washington shouldn’t be trying to ruin it.

Nothing says conservative values more than killing a $23 billion dollar industry right before Christmas.

“Republicans” go ahead and make Hemp illegal… I bet that’s gonna make people super excited to vote for you.

@HouseGOP @SenateGOP @WhiteHouse @realDonaldTrump

[Mila Joy @Milajoy]

Maybe Rand Paul was right.

THE Senate just passed a CR that bans most hemp products & overrides 23 state laws.

Sen. Rand Paul fought it: “Every hemp plant in America will be destroyed.” His amendment failed 76-24.

If the House passes this (vote possibly tomorrow), the $28B industry dies in 2026.

Farmers, small businesses, 300K jobs—gone.

Call your Rep.

Stop the hemp ban.

[Jeff Amazon (mr-benny.eth) @benny7579]

This is the amount @SenMcConnell received from the Alcohol Lobby to ban hemp...

[Fed up Texan @overcomer425]

The uniparty only cares about their pockets! They are not representing the people.

[ThePersistence @ScottPresler]

I’m receiving messages from panicked business owners about the hemp ban.

The Senate snuck in hemp ban language into the gov’t reopen package.

I’m hearing it will kill a lot of jobs & Republicans will lose a lot of votes.

Passing this on.

[Fed up Texan @overcomer425]

@MAGAVoice I’ll believe it when I see it. I haven’t seen anything but broken promises.

[Fed up Texan @overcomer425]

@SenRandPaul @EricLDaugh They did the same thing in Texas!! Used emotional leverage to pass hemp ban. I stand with you @SenRandPaul

[Fed up Texan @overcomer425]

@DanPatrick You are bought and paid for “Dan Patrick.”

[Martha Bueno @BuenoForMiami]

Remember when there was cocaine found in the White House?

How come no one was ever prosecuted for that?

I bet it’s for the same reason hemp is being made illegal now; there are two sets of rules - one for them, and one for you.

That much cocaine would give you life behind bars. For the elites, it’s just a regular Tuesday.
