The Texas Senate and I have been working with the House to ban THC in Texas. Since May, the Texas Senate has taken bold action to protect our communities. Texas will not become California or Colorado; regulation is legalization. We must ban all THC products. CBD and CBG will continue to be legal. Texans expect action—and the Senate will continue delivering until SB 6 becomes law. #txlege
