FLUENT ISSUES STATEMENT ON FAILED CANNABIS BILLS IN TEXAS
Cansortium
Inc., operating under the
Fluent
brand, has issued a statement on the two failed cannabis bills in Texas, United States.
Commenting on the recent failed legislation, Kristopher Kem, president of Fluent Cannabis Care Texas, said:
"While we are ultimately disappointed in the Texas Senate's failure to take action to decriminalize cannabis and expand the state's medical cannabis program, we commend Texas Rep. Joe Moody, Rep. Stephanie Klick, and their respective authors and cosponsors of
House Bill 218
and
House Bill 1805
for their continued work to enact meaningful legislation on cannabis reform.
"As of October of last year, Texas ranked
No. 1
in the U.S. for most cannabis possession arrests. For decades, cannabis prohibition has funnelled thousands of Texans into the criminal justice system. With more than
80 per cent of Texans
supporting the decriminalization of cannabis and the legalization of medical cannabis in the state, we must continue to call on our elected leaders to act on the will of their constituents and right the wrongs of the past.
"At Fluent, we believe in broadening access to medical cannabis. We are currently expanding our delivery capabilities to support patient populations in Houston and Austin, because we believe that Texans -- and all Americans -- deserve access to safe, tested medical cannabis.
"While we're disappointed in this legislative outcome, we're here to support the people of Texas and look forward to growing our operations and presence in the state."
