Texas is taking the first step toward banning all THC products, with Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, R, stating the state Senate will push for a ban on all forms of consumable THC in the upcoming legislative session. The move follows concerns from conservative state lawmakers over the influx of unregulated products in the market.

Since 2019, Texas has allowed the sale of hemp-derived products, including CBD, with a legal THC limit of 0.3%. However, Patrick argues retailers have exploited what he calls “loopholes” to sell products with dangerously high levels of THC — sometimes up to four times the amount found in illegal marijuana.
