S.B. 3: How Hemp Supports Pain Management and Mental Health

A Texas Patient’s Fight for Access – Featuring Adam Rawkinberry aka @HoustonRawket

When it comes to hemp, the conversation too often gets hijacked by politics, buzzwords, or stigma. But for thousands of Texans, it’s not about “getting high” it’s about staying alive, staying sane, and managing chronic pain without depending solely on pharmaceuticals.

One of those Texans is Adam Rawkinberry, also known as HoustonRawket on YouTube, where he reviews Texas-based hemp products with honesty, humor, and heart:

Long before hemp was trending, Adam was building a movement around plant-based healing. His story is one of trial, resilience, and transformation; and now, as Texas lawmakers attempt to pass Senate Bill 3 (S.B. 3), which could ban hemp-derived cannabinoids like THCa, his voice is more important than ever.

Discovering Relief: Adam’s Introduction to Hemp

“Before hemp entered the picture, managing chronic pain and mental health felt overwhelming. Every option came with harmful side effects or inconsistent results. I struggled to find cannabis options that weren’t black market or overpriced medical products. THCa changed that.”

— Adam Rawkinberry

For Adam, the key was finding a brand that prioritized both potency and quality. That’s where THCa came in … not just as a cannabinoid, but as a daily essential.

The Role of THCa in Everyday Life

“THCa is the cannabinoid I needed most. Once it’s heated, it converts into THC, and that’s where I get the most relief, from pain, anxiety, and sleep issues. Vaping and smoking it daily has made a huge difference.”

— Adam

This isn’t some niche wellness trend… it’s his lifeline.

What Lawmakers Don’t See

“Bills like SB 3 don’t consider people like me. They strip access from the small folks while allowing big corporations to buy their way in. It’s not about safety: it’s about control.”

— Adam

Adam’s story is a sobering reminder that behind every hemp product is a real person fighting invisible battles. These aren’t abstract “users”… they’re patients, caregivers, veterans, and people like Adam who’ve built their wellness routines around these products.

When News of the Ban Broke

“At first, it was terrifying. But knowing companies like IndaCloud exist, ones that stay compliant and still create quality products, gives me hope. They’re not just legal; they’re accessible.”

— Adam

That’s why brand transparency and integrity matter. Hemp companies like IndaCloud are offering affordable, legal alternatives even as restrictions tighten.

What’s at Stake Without Access

“If THCa access disappears, my quality of life drops. I’ve been on prescriptions that don’t work consistently. Cannabis fills the gaps where traditional medicine fails.”

— Adam

For Adam and countless others, removing access doesn’t just cause inconvenience… it sets back years of personal progress and threatens their ability to function day-to-day.

The Breakthrough Moments

“Finding THCa flower, vapes, and related products that worked for anxiety, insomnia, and inflammation was life-changing. It wasn’t dramatic—just small wins that added up.”

— Adam

From getting a full night’s sleep to reducing pain enough to function, Adam’s experience proves that hemp offers more than hope… it offers tangible results.

Medical Backing Matters

“I’m a TCUP patient here in Texas. My doctor has seen IndaCloud product labels and COAs and approved their use. Especially when dispensaries are charging $60–$80 for 100mg gummies, IndaCloud makes relief affordable.”

— Adam

Medical validation is critical. When doctors start to back hemp-derived cannabinoids, lawmakers should pay attention.

Fighting Stigma & Speaking Out

“Stereotypes help the people in power. But we as individuals have to fight back against those narratives.”

— Adam

Outdated portrayals of hemp users as lazy or criminal are not only wrong: they’re dangerous. Adam continues to break those molds, one video and one conversation at a time.

Preparing for Loss of Access

“Without my usual access, I’ve been forced to buy black market products that are inconsistent and unsafe. That shouldn’t be the norm.”

— Adam

A regulated, legal market protects people. Removing access pushes them into riskier territory… plain and simple.

The Psychological Toll of Legal Battles

“It’s emotionally draining. Sometimes you don’t see the results you want. But when someone says I helped them learn or feel seen—it’s worth it. I just remind myself: it’s not about me, it’s about the mission.”

— Adam

Adam’s advocacy is deeply personal and deeply exhausting. But his resilience fuels a movement far bigger than one person.

To the Lawmakers Behind S.B. 3

“Republicans and Democrats alike avoid looking constituents like me in the eye. Both sides play games. But behind every vote is someone’s life on the line.”

— Adam

Policy should be made with people in mind… not corporations.

To the Silent Majority

“To those scared to speak up: stand up for yourself. The hardest battles mean you’re heading in the right direction. Silence helps no one.”

— Adam

There are thousands of Texans like Adam who depend on hemp but stay quiet out of fear. He’s speaking for all of them.

Leaving Texas?

“I’d consider leaving if the opportunity came, but I don’t have the financial means right now. All I want is safe, consistent access to medicine.”

— Adam

No one should have to choose between their home and their health. Yet for many, that’s becoming the new reality.

A Message of Hope

“I will never stop doing what I do. If you’re passionate, it shows in everything you do. Eventually, you’ll find people who share your vision. Hope is what helps us push through the lies, the fear, and the stigma.”

— Adam

Closing Thoughts

Adam Rawkinberry’s story isn’t just about one man’s journey… it’s about the real people behind hemp policy.

The quiet battles. The small wins. The necessity of access.

At IndaCloud, we believe that plant-based relief is a right… not a privilege. We stand with advocates like Adam and the thousands more navigating chronic illness, stigma, and now… legal uncertainty.

Let’s make sure their voices aren’t lost in the political smoke.
