As Texas moves closer to enacting Senate Bill 3 (SB 3), which aims to ban most hemp-derived THC products, one company stands at the forefront of opposition: Hometown Hero ATX. Based in Austin, this veteran-supporting cannabis company is not only producing high-quality products but also actively advocating against the impending legislation.

🚫 Understanding Senate Bill 3 (SB 3)
SB 3, introduced by Texas State Senator Charles Perry and supported by Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, seeks to ban the sale and possession of hemp-derived THC products, including Delta-8 and Delta-9 THC. If enacted, the bill would criminalize these products, impacting both consumers and businesses across the state. MySA+2Hometown Hero+2Chron+2Chron
