The pissed-off CEO of an Austin recreational hemp company is offering 20% off all his business’ products after Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick accused the state’s hemp suppliers of being terrorists during an unhinged Monday press conference. Hometown Hero CEO Lukas Gilkey announced the special after Patrick, an anti-weed crusader, blew up over Gov. Greg Abbott’s veto of Senate Bill 3, which sought a complete ban on the sale of possession of products containing THC, the compound in cannabis that gets people high. For the next 11 hours, Hometown Hero is offering visitors to its online store the steep discount if they use the coupon code “BAN DAN” at checkout.
