In this episode of The Cole Memo, Cole is joined by Austin, the executive director of the Texas Cannabis Collective, to dive into the dynamic and evolving world of cannabis policy in Texas. They discuss the recent decriminalization wins in cities like Dallas, the contrasts between Texas’s restrictive medical program and its flourishing hemp market, and the regulatory hurdles Texas advocates are battling to protect consumer access.
Austin shares the challenges and triumphs of pushing for reform in a conservative state, from the local victories to the road ahead in the legislature. Tune in for an insider’s look at Texas’s cannabis movement, big wins, and what’s next on the horizon.
