In episode 86 of the Corpus Christi Originals Podcast, we dive into Senate Bill 3 (SB3), set to ban all consumable THC products in Texas by September 2025. Joined by Renee (Panacea), Kai (Coastal Buds Dispensary), and veteran Anthony Diaz, we explore the $10 billion hemp industry’s collapse, veterans’ loss of wellness options, and the rise of a black market. Learn why 60% of Texans oppose this ban and how to urge Governor Abbott to veto SB3. #VetoSB3
