On April 16, 2018, DSHS Commissioner John Hellerstedt may make a decision to adopt a new protocol (laid out in an open letter) to ban hemp-CBD sales. The proposed protocol states that products containing more than trace amounts of hemp-CBD, a non-psychoactive compound derived from hemp, will be removed from store shelves and either returned to the manufacturer or destroyed.
Not only is this detrimental to the thousands of Texans benefiting from hemp-CBD to treat their ailments, but this is a significant blow to the companies that have invested millions of dollars into their hemp-CBD businesses in the state.
OPPIDAN WELLNESS INC. invites Texans to take a stand on the matter by signing onto an open letter in support of keeping hemp-CBD on the shelves of our stores and to show the Texas government that this is something that people are watching.

The momentum behind this initiative continues to grow as more individuals join our request to keep these products available. This level of engagement demonstrates that the public remains focused on preserving access to hemp-CBD throughout the state.

My mom uses this for her arthritis and it totally changed her life. Texas needs to wake up and stop this!
This helps me manage my pain so much better than the pills the doctor keeps trying to push on me. Leave it alone.
CBD IS NOT THE SAME AS WEED. DO YOUR HOMEWORK COMMISSIONER.
Really upset by this news. CBD is legal and works for so many people. Keep it on the shelves.
Let us have our medicine. Stop overregulating everything.

Ridiculous. It doesnt even get you high! Why are they trying to shut down small businesses for no reason?
