On the night of June 22, 2025, Texas Governor Greg Abbott vetoed Senate Bill 3 (SB 3), a controversial measure that would have banned consumable hemp products containing THC, including delta-8 and delta-9.
Prohibition only fails where there is corruption or a lack of will to enforce the law. It should be regulated, not banned, because it has medicinal value — not because prohibition is a big fail.
Abbott is correct. Prohibition is proven to be failed policy.
New policy should provide restrictions on use and serious consequences for illegal actions. Control, not prohibition.
Prohibition only fails where there is corruption or a lack of will to enforce the law. It should be regulated, not banned, because it has medicinal value — not because prohibition is a big fail.
Hmmm…only corruption or lack of enforcement…applies to just about everything. So, back to… prohibition fails in its goals.
By that reasoning there should be no laws at all. You must work for the CATO institute.
