An advocacy group focused on protecting access to legal hemp products says it has gathered nearly 150,000 signatures urging Gov. Greg Abbott to veto Senate Bill 3, which would ban hemp-derived THC products in Texas.

Abbott is under heavy pressure from Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick to sign Senate Bill 3 into law, but the multibillion-dollar legal hemp industry is pushing back just as hard for a veto.
