A blanket hemp ban would wipe out American farm families, small businesses, and countless jobs.
We need commonsense guardrails, not prohibition. washingtonexaminer.com/polic…

This just in: exciting news as we continue to #RaiseTheBar for patients facing unmet needs in mental health.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (@FDA) has granted Breakthrough Therapy designation to DT120 ODT for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD), building on our initial designation in generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).
Receiving a second Breakthrough Therapy designation marks a huge leap forward and fuels our momentum toward a potential new generation of therapeutics for patients living with mental health disorders.

This is incredible, one of the most famous and certainly richest people on Earth supports emerging therapies.
The War on Drugs that was started in the 1970s has done incredible damage to low income Americans and advancements in both addiction and mental health research. 🇺🇸
If MDMA could help someone with PTSD from war, rape or other horrific experiences, then it would be wrong to withhold such a drug from them

BIG NEWS
President Trump is standing with Kentucky’s hemp farmers and the hardworking Americans in this industry.
This administration is right: Congress must pass a responsible regulatory framework that provides certainty for hemp farmers and protects quality American jobs.
The Trump administration is asking Congress to revise federal hemp regulations as part of an $87.6B supplemental funding request sent today to House Speaker Mike Johnson, with the White House saying it “strongly supports” hemp-related changes. themarijuanaherald.com/2026/…

🇺🇸Trump I am calling on Congress to protect access to full-spectrum CBD
“In December, I signed a very important executive order calling for research and innovation in hemp-derived CBD, something that has made a huge difference for so many people. In fact, one in five adults used it in the past year, and many say it improved their chronic pain enormously…
I am calling on Congress to update the law to ensure that Americans can continue to access the full spectrum CBD products they have come to rely on, while preserving Congress’s intent to restrict the sale of products that pose health risks.”
Trump DOJ just dropped a bomb on marijuana policy:
They're fast-tracking the rescheduling of cannabis.
How? By moving it out of the ultra-restrictive Schedule I category (same as heroin) into a lighter one with low-to-moderate abuse potential.
This will slash taxes, boost research, ease banking/funding, and supercharge the $47 billion industry.
Stocks popped then dipped, but the shift is real.
Big win for states that already legalized it.

This is incredible.
This opens up so many doors for veterans struggling with CTE, PTSD, and a host of other issues to pursue their treatment legally. I’m excited to see what happens from here.

The people in our #FacesOfHemp video represent only a small fraction of those who will suffer if hemp is criminalized. Their only option will be to buy from unregulated sources with no testing, no accountability, no quality control. Demand will not disappear. Prohibition doesn't protect consumers—it endangers them. @SenateApprops #SaveAmericanHemp #hemphelps

🚨 BREAKING: New polling from Quorum shows @GregAbbott_TX approval ratings in Texas rose 5 points after vetoing the THC ban in June.
Meanwhile, @DanPatrick, who pushed for the ban, saw his numbers drop among heavily Republican voters.
Polls by Trump-affiliated firms highlight the political divide over the $8B hemp industry.

THBC is proud to support @GregAbbott_TX and his plans for thoughtful regulation vs. antiquated attempts at a second prohibition. SB3 was vetoed... why are we wasting valuable tax payer dollars running back the SAME BILL. #txlege #hb5 #sb5

Navy combat veteran, bestselling author, and @GruntStyleFdn advocate @janae_sergio is speaking truth to power—and calling out #txlege Senator Perry for his baseless, offensive claim that veterans who testified against TX hemp bans were paid to show up.
These are real people, risking real consequences, to keep life-saving options available for Texas’ 1.4 million veterans.
“We fought for our country overseas. Now we’re fighting for our freedom here.” – Janae Sergio

.@jamestalarico breaks down how Dan Patrick blocked critical funding for flood mitigation—just to push a THC ban and protect his alcohol industry donors. Texans deserve better than political games. This is corruption, plain and simple. It’s not going to change until we take action. #txlege #texashemp

To be clear, the Arkansas law differs from S.B. 3 in legally consequential ways. Unlike the Texas bill, Arkansas’ law did not ban “any amount” of a cannabinoid, it expressly permitted hemp farming consistent with federal law, and it carved out interstate transportation. Those are three legal concerns I raised about S.B. 3 that do not exist in the Arkansas law. Even though the Arkansas law was not plagued with the same legal defects as the Texas bill, it still was unenforced for two years and will be further tied up in court for years to come. I vetoed the Texas bill because we do not have time for a protracted legal fight - we must act now to keep Texas children safe. That process begins next month.

I am not going to lie, this testimony got me fired up even across the pond! Bill Livezey absolutely knocked it out of the park. It is time for gloves off and calling out these crooked politicians for what they are. Shills for Big Tobacco Monopoly. #TNBudget2025
