Abbott faces pressure from both sides of the aisle. The prohibition was a priority for Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, but some hemp farmers and veterans want it killed.

Senate Bill 3 is awaiting Gov. Abbott's signature. If it becomes law, it could spell doom for thousands of dispensaries and smoke shops in the state.

Veterans and hemp business owners are urging Gov. Abbott to veto SB 3, a bill that would ban THC products many use as alternatives to opioids.
