Texas lawmakers continue to grapple with restrictions on THC products as a statewide ban on THC-infused vapes has taken effect, leading to significant changes for smoke shops and vape retailers across the state. The ban, which eliminates the sale and marketing of THC vape pens, has raised concerns among business owners and consumers, prompting a reevaluation of selling strategies. Despite efforts to address the confusion surrounding the new regulations, the legislative session has ended without reaching a comprehensive deal on the future of THC products. As shelves at local shops empty and lawmakers face pressure to act, the financial implications for the vaping industry in North Texas are becoming increasingly apparent.
