🌍 Why It Matters to Patients Outside Texas

Even if you’re a patient in Florida, Missouri, or another medical state, this decision can impact you in major ways:

1. 🚚 National Supply Chain Disruption

Many hemp and THC product suppliers ship nationwide—Texas included. A ban could:

• Limit availability of certain products

• Raise prices due to supply shortages

• Delay deliveries for patients awaiting relief

2. ⚖️ Travel Risks for Patients

If you travel to or through Texas:

• Carrying legal medical THC products could result in confiscation or penalties

• Your state-issued medical card may not protect you in Texas

• Conflicting laws can lead to legal trouble or fear of arrest

3. 🔁 Copycat Legislation in Other States

Texas is often a trendsetter in conservative policy. This move could:

• Encourage neighboring states to pass similar bans

• Put hemp-derived medical options at risk nationwide

• Increase the chance of federal intervention or reclassification

🩺 What OMNI Patients Should Do

If you’re an OMNI patient using Delta-8, Delta-9, or other hemp-based THC formulations:

• ✅ Talk to your OMNI provider about reliable alternatives

• ✅ Ask for medical documentation if traveling with THC products

• ✅ Avoid traveling across state lines with THC unless laws are clear
