Alamo Beer Co. in San Antonio will release its King of the Hill-inspired beer, ALAMO, on Sat. July 26. I swung by the brewery last week to chat with the founder & the brew master. Oh, and I sampled the beer. My reaction? This would be Hank Hill-approved. mysanantonio.com/lifestyle/arti…
The vibes here are A++. Trill Burgers is on location (the line is crazy long for it, you’ve been warned), along with a ton of sponsors (read: sm free stuff), Slab BBQ, the Peached Tortilla, Austin Ice Cream, a DJ spinning bops until Grouplove takes the stage after 8!
There’s a free concert tonight @ Auditorium Shores in ATX as part of MLS All Star celebrations — Grouplove is playing. Show is @ 8:30 p.m.
There’s a rally happening in San Antonio - led by a local cannabis business - that aims to educate Texans about the hemp industry, cannabis as a plant, etc. mysanantonio.com/news/local/art…
Regulating THC for 21+ in TX is a backdoor way to legalize recreational marijuana. Law enforcement is against regulation & supports a full ban. Texas has a robust program for those in need of medical THC for cancer, PTSD, & other issues.
Not mentioned in the below post is the hours of testimony against the bill. Will be writing up takeaways in the morning from the hearing and touch on what’s next for the proposed THC ban in Texas. Plus, Abbott’s latest remarks on consumable hemp products.
Senate Bill 5, Banning THC, passes out of the Texas Senate Committee on State Affairs unanimously, 10-0, after powerful testimony from law enforcement! Allen Police Chief Steve Dye, representing 1,700 Texas police chiefs, and Sheriff Brian Hawthorne, President of the Texas…
Re: the newly proposed bill to ban THC in Texas, Perry also said that it's a "false narrative" that the bill would put any hemp-related companies out of business, later adding, "No reputable business is losing its job" should THC (including full-spectrum CBD) be banned in TX.
In today's hearing on SB 5 - the latest, beefed-up version of the Texas THC ban - Sen. Charles Perry has made several eyebrow-raising statements. One being that he believes comparisons between cannabis and alcohol are "not debatable" because "they'll both kill ya."

The hearing on SB 5 is happening NOW. I'll be rounding up some takeaways re: the THC ban of it all, and how the proposed bill doesn't seem to address the asks of Gov. Abbott, who vetoed a similar bill during the regular legislative session. Tune in - senate.texas.gov/videoplayer.ph…

Not surprisingly, the hearing has yet to start. Here's a screenshot of the live feed -
The public hearing for SB 5 - the new special session version of SB 3, the Texas THC ban that was vetoed by Gov. Abbott - will be held TODAY, July 22, starting at 9 a.m. It will be in the Senate Chambers. There are 2 other bills on the agenda.

Btw - the new version of SB 3 appears to be SB 5. It appears cannabinoids other than CBD and CBG would still be outlawed under this bill. This is similar to SB 3. capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/891/bi…
Happy day 1 of TX's special session. Several things are on the agenda for this session, including SB 3 — the THC ban that Gov. Abbott vetoed. The idea of a ban has sparked uproar in Texas, & hemp backers are standing up while planning a rally. mysanantonio.com/news/local/art… via @mySA
When your former colleague is now doing big things with AP, and just so happens to cover your team in the process, you share their work. The wait is over for Texas and Arch Manning, though being the backup QB wasn't easy (by @mauracareyAP!) apnews.com/article/arch-m…
