VIDEO Episode 78: Paul Trowe of Herban Bud

Gramps joins guest Paul Trowe, CEO of Herban Bud, an Austin-based company that provides premium quality Delta 8, Delta 9, HHC and THCa legal cannabis alternatives that are still legally formulated.

Paul was arrested for carrying his own prescribed medical marijuana in the state of Texas (by weighing both the two THC pills in Paul’s possession and the bottle they came in, they were able to increase the charge to a second degree felony for between 4g and 400g of THC - the total weight including the bottle was 4.9g. After his arrest, he was inspired to offer a medical alternative that would help others have legal access to the medicine they need to experience the desired effects of full-spectrum cannabis without having to risk prison time. Gramps and Paul discuss what Texans need to know about legal cannabis alternatives in Texas and the benefits it can have to overall health and wellness. As well the two have a conversation about cannabis laws in Austin and across Texas, why it should be decriminalized and viewed as a safe recreational tool and an important medicine rather than a Schedule I substance.
