The Importance of the Texas Hemp Business Council
By contributing billions of dollars in the form of employee wages and state taxes, not to mention offering employment to tens of thousands of Texans. The Texas hemp sector is a crucial component of the state’s economy. Faced with substantial legislative obstacles, the Texas Hemp Business Council was established to address these challenges. Despite facing an uphill battle with Governor Dan Patrick, they remain dedicated to their mission of upholding a safe and thriving hemp industry in Texas.
It is critical to acknowledge that Hometown Hero has been actively involved in Texas Hemp Legislation for several years. They have pushed for age verification laws and will persist in advocating for regulations to prevent minors from accessing hemp products. Their goal is to safeguard consumers with sensible regulations that prioritize consumer health and safety while also fostering innovation. They are committed to securing the supply chain and preserving the interests of all parties involved, from farmers to manufacturers, to the hundreds of thousands of Texans who rely on hemp products for functional relief.
During a crucial Texas Senate Committee Hearing on May 29th, regarding the possible prohibition of delta 8 & delta 9, Lukas Gilkey (CEO of Hometown Hero) presented arguments elucidating the state and federal legality of hemp while highlighting the benefits on the state economy. With over 60 employees depending on Hometown Hero for income & healthcare, they stressed the importance of supporting the industry to protect Texas families and businesses. They urged lawmakers to prioritize consumer safety and economic growth by regulating the market effectively instead of turning consumers to state medical marijuana monopolies or the unregulated market. Their dedication to Texas and its community, especially veterans, shines through as they advocate for the future of hemp businesses and consumer rights by forming this Council.
