On this special Bicycle Day episode of The Cole Memo, I’m joined by Austin Zamhariri of the Texas Cannabis Collective for a deep dive into Texas’ escalating cannabis policy battles. We discuss the looming threat of a full hemp ban, the failures of the state’s restrictive medical program, and how Texas’ hemp market has provided broader legal access to the cannabis plant than many realize. Austin shares insights from the front lines of the legislative fight, the economic stakes for farmers and consumers, and why smart regulation—not prohibition—is the real path forward. Plus, we touch on national trends, the future of cannabis access in Texas, and why the movement can’t afford to lose ground.
