The governor argued that Senate Bill 3 would not have survived, and lawsuits would’ve postponed bill enforcement for years.

    Long live Gov. Abbott

    Have fun with all the ghetto people smoking in public like NV.



  3. @BonafideGail on June 25, 2025 at 12:34 pm

    As soon as they can figure out how to cash in on this oh it’ll be legalized without hesitation. The old house speaker , John Baynor did the same thing. Now he’s cashing in.



  4. @mindinversions4487 on June 25, 2025 at 12:34 pm

    They’re done: the money has spoken.



  5. @dacoup5955 on June 25, 2025 at 12:36 pm

    VOTE DAN PATRICK OUT OF OFFICE! 🗣️ … the man held school funding hostage to pass this absurd bill and is lobbying on behalf of big brewing and big pharama.



  6. @mzcherrybombshell on June 25, 2025 at 12:37 pm

    patrick is a big baby. just because a handful of tragic incidents happened- doesn’t call for an outright ban dude. Alcohol and cigs are the killers mannn. like..just because all "red heads can be crazy"- doesn’t mean they’re all bad apples. just because some young dingdongs experimented and had bad results… doesn’t justify how it helps millions of people around the world, to say the least. Didn’t expect Abbott to pull through for veto, but he did and its a blessing to sooooo many Texans. 🎉 wahooo!



  7. @H-thusle on June 25, 2025 at 12:40 pm

    Dan Patrick your in history books buddy get lost 😂



  8. @wolfseinfein1461 on June 25, 2025 at 12:43 pm

    The Alcohol industry should want to get in on the Delta 9 Infused Brewski ESPECIALLY BUD LIGHT, UH THIS BUDS FOR YOU



  9. @CleveAles on June 25, 2025 at 12:45 pm

    Time to vote Patrick out



  10. @JoeEmb on June 25, 2025 at 12:46 pm

    lfg, W Abbott



  11. @BIGSauceBladeWaater on June 25, 2025 at 12:46 pm

    It is not over the fight has just restarted but now we have 30 days instead of six months. We need to act now people wake up do some research before it’s too late and they get their way.



  12. @Jonhobbs64 on June 25, 2025 at 12:53 pm

    Tragic losses? Really😂😂😂



  13. @user-fh1tg3zz5n on June 25, 2025 at 12:53 pm

    Can we recall Dan Patrick



  14. @JerahmeCronin on June 25, 2025 at 12:54 pm

    Just legalize it, 21+.



  15. @castillo184 on June 25, 2025 at 12:59 pm

    Cigarettes are fine they just cause cancer



  16. @BonafideGail on June 25, 2025 at 12:59 pm

    Iron sides had also written a law making mandatory water breaks illegal a few years ago. Who does that? A miserable, evil, old troll?



  17. @TheOriginalKingNuts on June 25, 2025 at 1:01 pm

    Let’s be wise and legalize..



  18. @CleveAles on June 25, 2025 at 1:02 pm

    ❤❤❤Go Governor ABBOTT



  19. @jaimegonzales5641 on June 25, 2025 at 1:02 pm

    Now can yall stop hating on my guy Greg Abbott? He’s a great governor



  20. @CA-xc2ui on June 25, 2025 at 1:02 pm

    THIS IS NOT OVER. the gov called special session for july 21st. they will be mainly discussing sb3. who knows what they have up their sleeves. we must be vigilante to what they will be trying to pass during the special session.



  21. @dacoup5955 on June 25, 2025 at 1:03 pm

    Thank you Abbott, that was a common sense approach and you got my vote if you keep it up and keep this nonsense fear mongering back in the 50s where it belongs



  22. @JasonCougar-k5r on June 25, 2025 at 1:04 pm

    No they are turning it into big pharma



  23. @miguelangell1613 on June 25, 2025 at 1:05 pm

    no dont keep it 😢 no please take it its fake killing us its better to get it from the streets



  24. @edwardgarza1850 on June 25, 2025 at 1:06 pm

    Lights a blunt while laughing at Patrick!!! 😂😂😂



  25. @swamprattx on June 25, 2025 at 1:06 pm

    He paid everyone that testified. Patrick is a crook, bought by the alcohol industry



  26. @MrFrankie4700 on June 25, 2025 at 1:07 pm

    Dan Patrick you old head give it up



  27. @Jake-f6j on June 25, 2025 at 1:07 pm

    Dan Patrick is one of the worst politicians to ever take office. Talks about THC causing deaths and family destruction as if tobacco and alcohol don’t do that to a million times worse degree. Awful human being.



  28. @lockitdownduck4033 on June 25, 2025 at 1:08 pm

    Outstanding. People who are suffering from cancer and other painful diseases should be allowed to use non pills for pain.



  29. @HIDNotfound on June 25, 2025 at 1:08 pm

    We are going to vote you out Dan Patrick!



  30. @Raviouliformiouli on June 25, 2025 at 1:08 pm

    That’s great but I still don’t like Abbott. It’s a miracle he vetoed



  31. @Yophillips3272 on June 25, 2025 at 1:09 pm

    I feel for people who lost love ones from addiction but they lost them because they were doing speedballz and alcohol not thc.



  32. @Mitch-q3y on June 25, 2025 at 1:10 pm

    Thank you Governor Abbott! This Dan Patrick guy seems like a DEI piece of trash. Can him.



  33. @thomaslopez155 on June 25, 2025 at 1:10 pm

    ❤❤❤❤BEAUTIFUL 😊.RACK



  34. @davidsheriff9274 on June 25, 2025 at 1:11 pm

    Abbott looked at the poll numbers on this issue and realized it would hurt him politically if he didn’t veto it, that’s the only reason he did this. I’m glad he did it, but please, let’s not act like he is not some great guy that cares about doing the right thing.



  35. @wunderwaffefries on June 25, 2025 at 1:11 pm

    Greg Abbott made the right decision here. People in Texas want to be able to have a little fun but safely and these products are perfectly fine.



  36. @larryhyde8003 on June 25, 2025 at 1:11 pm

    What tragic losses? Just another negative inflammatory sound bite with little if anything to back it up. I prefer – "Patrick is done, vote him out!"



  37. @worldcannabisclubtv1130 on June 25, 2025 at 1:12 pm

    Irregardless of MMJ’s medical benefits and whether or not it becomes recreational in the future: – The crux of the argument is you can’t use a credit card to buy your medicine in a dispensary and some times you run out of money, and still need your medicine, and the state would then be interfering with the Dr./Patient relationship and not allowing the patient to purchase his monthly allotted milligram dosages.



  38. @richardbelisle-c1e on June 25, 2025 at 1:12 pm

    Thank you governor..never thought I’d say that



  39. @mindinversions4487 on June 25, 2025 at 1:14 pm

    Money talks: and for once I’m grateful 😊



  40. @nathanhall9177 on June 25, 2025 at 1:14 pm

    Dan Patrick is so tense! It’s almost like he could use something to relax.



  41. @HildaBurns-t4m on June 25, 2025 at 1:16 pm

    Thank you Abbott and we all gotta get dan Patrick outta here



  42. @40skindofguy on June 25, 2025 at 1:16 pm

    Millions were planning on moving ,abbot just stopped that 👏 😊



  43. @blastinstarrecords3108 on June 25, 2025 at 1:17 pm

    ABBOTT THANK YOU .



  44. @AllThingsNews26 on June 25, 2025 at 1:17 pm

    The governor finally did something right for once



  45. @BG-qx2st on June 25, 2025 at 1:22 pm

    Thank you Abbott!! Dan Patrick is in the hands of big pharma!! Just regulate it like alcohol and tobacco



  46. @erichlisafuest8301 on June 25, 2025 at 1:22 pm

    Most racist Republicans don’t want marijuana to be legal because they want to still be able to harass and arrest minorities



  47. @mtorres723 on June 25, 2025 at 1:23 pm

    THANKYOU GOVERNOR 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼



  48. @jeremymoore6747 on June 25, 2025 at 1:26 pm

    I guess Patrick saw reafer madness too often



  49. @sunnydelight3046 on June 25, 2025 at 1:28 pm

    Ban alcohol 🍸



  50. @iproblumanno on June 25, 2025 at 1:28 pm

    You mean the people you paid to testify?
