Poll: More Texas GOP primary voters oppose Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick's hemp ban than support it


It’s unclear what group of constituents Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick was hoping to impress by forcing a statewide ban of all THC-containing hash products through the Texas Legislature, but a new poll suggests Republican primary voters aren’t impressed. A survey released by Texas Hemp Business Council trade association shows that more primary voters in Patrick’s own state party oppose the ban than support it. Indeed, 47% of Texas Republican primary voters in the poll said they’re against banning hemp, while 37% support a ban and 16% said they don’t know.
