TEXAS SENATE GREENLIGHTS THC CRACKDOWN 🚫🌿 The Texas Senate has approved SB 3, a landmark bill banning all forms of THC, including synthetic varieties like Delta-8 and Delta-9, which gained massive traction since 2019.

Senator Charles Perry, author of the 2019 h**p bill and this new legislation, clarified the initial aim was to promote industrial h**p—not pave the way for potent intoxicants. “It’s no longer your granddad’s pot,” Perry stated. “It’s marketed as safe and legal—but it’s anything but.”

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick emphasized its importance, criticizing retailers for targeting minors with shops near schools and THC products boasting up to 80% potency.

Key Provisions of SB 3: ⚠️ Prohibits all psychoactive THC products (both natural and synthetic). ⚠️ Keeps CBD and CBG legal with stricter testing and licensing requirements. ⚠️ Targets retailers marketing to minors. ⚠️ Seeks to halt the sale of THC-infused beverages at liquor stores.

Patrick issued a stern warning to retailers: “Close your doors, or we will close them for you.”

Next Steps: The bill now moves to the Texas House for committee review and a vote. If it gains approval and Governor Abbott signs it, Texas could become one of the nation’s most restrictive states regarding THC products.

🎹🎵 Elton John is not holding back when it comes to his opinion about the legalization of ma*****na.

Recently named Time magazine’s 2024 Icon of the Year, the legendary musician shared his thoughts on the issue, citing his own personal struggles with addiction as the foundation of his views.

Elton John has no hesitation in expressing his stance on ma*****na legalization, especially in light of its growing acceptance in North America. In his Time interview, he says, “I maintain that it’s addictive. It leads to other drugs.“

The “Rocket Man” singer, who has lived through the highs and lows of addiction, makes it clear that his opinion isn’t just a casual observation—it’s based on personal experience. “And when you’re stoned—and I’ve been stoned—you don’t think normally,” John admits. “Legalizing ma*****na in America and Canada is one of the greatest mistakes of all time.“

This firm stance aligns with John’s long-standing advocacy for helping others overcome addiction. He has supported high-profile figures like Eminem and Robin Williams on their journeys to sobriety, using his own life as an example to help others break free from substance abuse.

Hi


I am looking for statements from families who have been impacted by Delta-8-THC or any h**p-derived THC product, especially families from Texas.

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick wants to ban these products, and we need to support him with real stories. I will be in Texas at a convention he and his staff will attend in a few weeks.

Please submit your statements even if you are not from Texas.

Here are my recommendations. Write a sentence for each of the questions:
-What was your loved one like before using these products
-How did these products affect your loved one (what behaviors did they have)?
-What is life like now?
-Why do you want these products banned?

Please send them to me in a private message, or leave it in the comment section or let me know if you need my email address.

Thank you!
