Dear Hemp Gaia Community,
Right now in Texas, your access to safe, legal, plant-based wellness products is under threat. Laws like SB3 aim to make you, our customers — veterans, parents, patients, and small business owners — felons for using federally legal hemp products.
Let that sink in: for using something that the federal government has declared legal, the state is trying to criminalize you.
It’s not just about our store. It’s about you. Your rights. Your freedom. Your health.
Who Needs to Speak Up?
Everyone. But especially:
-
Veterans who use cannabinoids to manage pain and PTSD
-
Patients who rely on hemp for sleep, anxiety, inflammation, or focus
-
Parents and caretakers who choose plant-based support for their families
-
Everyday Texans who believe in freedom, fairness, and the right to choose
We are urging you — right now — to call your local police departments, sheriff’s offices, and district attorneys. Tell them:
-
You are a law-abiding adult.
-
You purchase tested, regulated hemp products from licensed retailers.
-
These products help you live a better life — mentally, physically, emotionally.
-
Criminalizing hemp makes no sense and wastes law enforcement resources.
-
Texans don’t want to be treated like criminals for following federal law.
Make it personal. Be respectful, but firm.
We’ve seen what happens when we stay silent: bad policy wins. But when we show up, call out, and stand together — we shift the narrative.
Who to Call
Look up your local sheriff’s office, city police department, and county DA. Ask to speak with someone who handles public safety or community outreach. Let them know these products matter to you — that they make your life safer, not riskier.
We Are Organizing.
At Hemp Gaia, we’re not backing down. We work with:
-
CRAFT Strategies to promote common-sense regulation and protect small businesses.
-
Local farmers and manufacturers to ensure safe, compliant, tested products.
-
Community members like YOU, because you are the proof that this plant changes lives.
We’ll keep speaking truth to power — but we can’t do it without you.
Take Action Now:
-
Call your local law enforcement today.
-
Share your story with us — we’ll amplify your voice.
-
Forward this blog to friends, family, and veterans in your life.
-
Support Hemp Gaia by shopping local — every dollar is a vote for safe access.
We’ve come too far to be silenced now. Let’s remind them who they’re trying to lock up — real people with real lives and real needs.
With grit and gratitude,
