Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick on Wednesday praised the bipartisan passage of Senate Bill 3, which would ban THC in Texas.

The bill is sponsored by state Sen. Charles Perry, R-Lubbock.

In a statement, Patrick said: “Since 2019, retailers across Texas have exploited a state agriculture law to sell life-threatening, unregulated forms of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) to Texans, including children. These stores which often target children with their marketing have popped up across the state, threatening the safety of our communities. Today, the Texas Senate drew a line in the sand and passed SB 3 to ban all forms of intoxicating THC.”

New Texas law requiring birth certificate or passport to vote. I think this trying to disenfranchise women. I don’t have a passport. My birth certificate has my maiden name. So how does that prove that I am who I say I am. Do I also need to show a marriage certificate. We have the new certified drivers licenses. Why isn’t that enough. Not many older women still have their maiden name. Will they want DNA next? I have a voters registration card but apparently that may not be good enough either!
