Thank you @CADCA and @learnaboutsam for the support. THCA flower sold in Texas is federally illegal marijuana — yet it’s everywhere. 40+ states have addressed this loophole. It’s time @MillerforTexas & @TexasDeptofAg comply with USDA rules & close illicit hemp loopholes. #txlege
Comm. @MillerforTexas we fully support @CADCA letter to align Texas Hemp rules with federal law. It is time for Texas to join the 40+ other states that have addressed the illicit loophole that is THCA flower (i.e. marijuana) @electcharles @DanPatrick Thank you for your efforts

Comm. @MillerForTexas, I’m simply asking you to follow the USDA’s definition of legal “hemp,” updated by President Trump in 2021. You don’t need a green light from #txlege—84% of the Senate and 74% of the House already voted to ban THC consumables. https://t.co/9sQYj8EnJ1

Texas rules leave loopholes letting marijuana pose as hemp. I’ve asked state agencies to align with federal THC standards: https://t.co/JsoPPcxc59

So goes Texas, so goes America. This debate isn’t over, and I will not stop fighting until we secure real protections for our communities and prevent Texas from repeating the mistakes of other states. (6 of 7)

If executive action is taken, the only effective step is to ban all synthetic cannabinoids, converted cannabinoids, and smokeables outright. That is the only way to close the loophole and protect Texas families. (5 of 7)

lost productivity in our workforce and, far worse, trigger episodes of psychosis and other dangerous behaviors that put Texas lives at risk. That’s why I passed a bill this session that would have done what the Governor now says he wants to do — but it was vetoed. (4 of 7)

Placing an age restriction does not fix this problem. It leaves the products on the shelves, gives the industry exactly what it wants, and ensures the legislature will never come back to close the loophole. These products are not harmless — they will continue to fuel (3 of 7)

What we see today exists only because of a loophole that allows THC products to be sold openly — even next to schools — despite federal and state laws already on the books. (2 of 7)

THREAD: Reports suggest the Governor may issue an executive order to age-gate THC products. Texans need to understand that marijuana has never been legalized in our state. (1 of 7)

Texans expect their elected officials to show up, not walk out. Regardless of party, doing the job means staying in the chamber and fighting for your constituents—not fleeing when things get tough. #txlege
