What SB3 Proposes
Senate Bill 3, backed by Sen. Charles Perry and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, would outlaw the production, sale, and possession of all hemp-derived THC products. This includes smokables, edibles, and beverages. Only non-intoxicating cannabinoids like CBD and CBG would remain legal. Penalties include Class A misdemeanors for possession and third-degree felonies for manufacturing or selling.
Impact on the Texas Hemp Industry
Since 2019, Texas has grown a thriving $8 billion hemp market. SB 3 would disrupt that economy—endangering over 50,000 jobs and eliminating legal access to alternative wellness solutions.
According to the Texas Hemp Business Council, the ban could erase $267 million in annual tax revenue and $2.1 billion in wages. This move would hit small businesses and hemp farmers hardest.
At Surgeons, LLC, customers rely on full-spectrum options like our Triple Stack Oil to support natural wellness, pain relief, and sleep. If this law passes, Texans may lose legal access to those products.
Legal and Political Status
SB 3 passed the Texas House with a 95–44 vote and awaits reconciliation in the Senate before reaching Governor Abbott. Lawmakers initially debated regulation, but Rep. Tom Oliverson reintroduced the full ban. Lt. Gov. Patrick has vowed to call a special session if needed to ensure passage.
What Happens Next?
If signed, the law will take effect on September 1, 2025. Advocacy groups urge a veto, arguing for consumer choice, public health alternatives, and economic survival.
