Texas House Bill 1657 Would Allow Hemp Products

Vote to make hemp products legal in Texas.

Texas farmers are restricted by the federal government from growing hemp year round.

The only way to change hemp laws in Texas is through the legislature. The Texas House of Representatives and Senate meet every two years for approximately 140 days.

House Bill 1657 would change that by allowing Texas to use resources and personnel to produce and distribute hemp products in the state. Forty other states have already passed similar legislation, solidifying hemp as a legitimate commodity.

On February 12, Texas State Rep. Roland Gutierrez (Texas House District 119/San Antonio) said “operating hemp on a commercial scale is a ‘big win’ for Texas farmers because the crop requires less water and resources to grow.” Hemp and marijuana are members of the cannabis family, but hemp has lower levels of THC and higher levels of CBD whereas, marijuana has higher levels of THC.

Rep. Gutierrez said that “Legalizing hemp in Texas is about giving our farmers the opportunity to grow and distribute a durable, natural fiber that can be incorporated into thousands of products. We want to move Texas in the right direction in terms of agricultural commerce, and legalizing hemp is the first step.”

We need all activists to start contacting their Legislators NOW to start a conversation on cannabis law reform and upcoming cannabis reform bills. You can create an account on My LTO so that you can follow the bills when the Legislator is in session.
