Texas Legislature Moves Forward with THC Product Restrictions Amid Controversy
The Texas House has recently taken significant steps towards potentially banning THC products, following a series of contentious votes and debates. Key legislation has passed, including a ban on THC gummies and other consumable hemp products, supported by Lt. Governor Dan Patrick. However, the discussion surrounding this issue remains heated as lawmakers grapple with the implications of a total ban versus partial restrictions, especially concerning THC drinks. Advocates for veterans and cannabis businesses are vocal in their opposition to hastily crafted legislation, emphasizing a need for careful consideration and inclusion of current medical cannabis participants. The debate continues, with a potential impact on the market and consumers statewide.
