Texas Lt. Gov Dan Patrick was just called out for his connections to private investors in the Texas Medical Marijuana Program!
In an article published by the Texas scorecard, Lt. Gov Dan Patrick’s ties to lobbying group Blackmore were exposed, showing financial backers include companies invested in the TCUP (Texas Compassionate Use Program).
These companies would financially benefit from a monopoly on the cannabis market in the state, but only if hemp was taken off the table.
With the Lt. Gov even going as far to say that the medical marijuana expansion (HB46) was “worthless” without hemp derived THC being banned in Texas!
“This reaction confirmed that Patrick’s THC Policy was designed not for public health, but to create market advantage for specific licensed operators” https://t.co/oMa7pobFua
A new THC ban bill was just filed in the Texas special session!! 🚨
SB5, much like SB3, completely bans the manufacture and sale of any form of hemp derived THC in Texas, and institutes ridiculous penalties for possession of any hemp derived products!
This bill will shut down the entire hemp industry in Texas, just like SB3, destroying tens of thousands of small businesses at the hands of prohibitionist politicians funded by alcohol lobbies‼️
