Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick held a fiery press conference on Monday, voicing his dismay over Gov. Greg Abbott vetoing Senate Bill (SB) 3, a piece of legislation that would have banned the manufacture, sale, and possession of hemp-derived THC products in Texas.
While SB 3 garnered mixed media coverage throughout the legislative process, with Patrick holding a number of press conferences to champion the bill, he made clear on Monday that SB 3 was “not a Dan Patrick bill … This is a bill that reasonable people in professions that know best, from medicine to law enforcement to education, said they all support.”
