CV Sciences, Inc. Applauds Governor Abbot’s Veto of Senate Bill 3

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / June 23, 2025 / CV Sciences, Inc. (OTCQB:CVSI) (the "Company", "CV Sciences", "our", "us" or "we"), a preeminent consumer wellness company specializing in hemp extracts and other proven science-backed, natural ingredients and products, today applauds Texas Governor Greg Abbott for vetoing Senate Bill 3, which would have created an effective ban on the sale of consumable hemp products across the state of Texas.

The proposed legislation posed a direct threat to Texas’s robust hemp industry, which supports thousands of jobs and provides effective wellness products for consumers throughout the state. Senate Bill 3 would have effectively removed the majority of hemp-derived products currently available on the market, disrupting small businesses and limiting consumer access to federally legal wellness alternatives. We agree with Governor Abbott as he declared in his veto statement: "Texas must enact a regulatory framework that protects public safety, aligns with federal law, has a fully funded enforcement structure, and can take effect without delay."

CV Sciences remains committed to advocating for science-backed, safe and legal access to hemp-derived products across the country. The Company thanks Governor Abbott for recognizing the consumer impact of this bill.
