Texas’ ban on several consumable THC hemp products goes into effect Friday: What is legal and what is not?
Click2Houston • • business
Key Points:
- The Texas Department of State Health Services' reclassification of most hemp-derived THC as a schedule I drug will take effect this Friday, following a Texas Supreme Court ruling that ended a 2021 injunction.
- The ban targets all synthetically created THC products, including delta-8, delta-10, THCP, and THCA flower, making their sale and possession illegal.
- An exception is made for delta-9 THC products containing less than 0.3% THC by dry weight, which are still permitted in forms such as smokable products, CBD oil, edibles, topicals, and infused foods and drinks.
- Possession or manufacture of banned synthetic THC products will be classified as a state jail felony, carrying penalties of 180 days to two years in prison and fines up to $10,000.
