Governor Greg Abbott says he’s still on the fence about a bill that would ban consumable products containing THC. Houston Public Media’s Andrew Schneider looks into why, as well as what might happen if Abbott decides to veto the ban. Tomorrow is Juneteenth and the city of Lubbock is kicking it off at the Patterson Library from 1:30 to 4:30 P.M., followed by a youth Glow in the Dark Party from 5 to 8 P.M.
