Texas hemp growers are asking Governor Greg Abbott to veto a bill that would ban hemp sales in the state.
Industry groups collected nearly 150,000 signatures over the bill, which bans hemp-derived products. The Texas Hemp Business Council warns that if signed into law, it could wipe out $4 billion in revenue each year, along with more than 50,000 jobs.
They also warn a ban could open the door for more unregulated products in the state.
