?? URGENT: Protect Texas Jobs & Smart Hemp Regulations! ?? Lone Star Beverage Brands LLC strongly opposes Senate Bill 3 (SB3) and stands with the Texas hemp industry against this sweeping ban. Prohibiting 90-95% of hemp products will devastate local businesses, eliminate jobs, and drive consumers toward unregulated alternatives. ?? We support responsible regulations—not industry-wide prohibition. ?? We stand with Texas farmers, scientists, and business owners fighting to keep this industry alive. ?? We urge lawmakers to listen to the facts—the proposed THC limits in SB3 are impossible to meet and will only hurt Texas businesses. ?? Now is the time to take action! If you're in Texas, use the link below to contact your legislators and make your voice heard. #TexasHemp #SmartRegulations #NoToSB3 #ProtectTexasJobs #HempIndustry
