Texas Senate Sends THC Ban to Governor's Desk!
A bill that would ban all products containing tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is headed to Gov. Greg Abbott's desk after the Senate late Sunday approved the House version of the bill advanced by the lower chamber last week.
If the measure avoids Abbott's veto pen, Texas' $8 billion hemp industry and its estimated 50,000 jobs would be dissolved in September, when the ban would take effect. Retailers and recreational users would be allowed to sell and consume only the non-intoxicating, non-psychoactive cannabinoids known as CBD and CBG.
The about-face comes six years after the Legislature inadvertently touched off a massive boom in hemp-based products when lawmakers, intending to boost Texas agriculture, authorized the sale of consumable hemp. Though that 2019 law does not allow products to contain more than trace amounts of delta-9 THC, it did not establish that same threshold for other hemp derivatives.
