We are having our monthly social meeting at Jim’s restaurant. You can come by and bring a friend to meet members of the party in the San Antonio area. Come by if you have questions and want to learn more. Some people arrive earlier to order food and chat as well.

This is a great way to come and learn more and meet like minded people in the area. If you cannot make it and still would like to be involved feel free to reach out. You can contact the officers at officers@lpbexar.org. You can also sign up for our newsletter (link above) to stay up to date on LPBexar events and information.

Today HB1535 was referred to the Senate State Affairs Committee!

HB1535 would expand the Texas Therapeutic Use Program (TCUP) to people suffering from chronic pain and PTSD and would raise the THC cap from 0.5% (hemp is therapeutically indistinguishable at 0.3%) to a still-low but potentially therapeutic 5%. This would FINALLY make TCUP a genuine medical cannabis access program! Text of the engrossed bill below for reference: capitol.texas.gov/…/billtext/pdf/HB01535E.pdf
