Texas lawmakers are revisiting legislation aimed at banning hemp-derived products with any detectable THC after Governor Greg Abbott vetoed a similar bill. The new bill would restrict access to products containing THC, joining other conservative states in similar legislation. However, divisions exist within the Republican Party regarding the approach to THC regulation, with Abbott advocating for a regulatory model instead of a full ban. The proposed regulations involve labeling, laboratory testing, and age restrictions, aiming to protect consumers while addressing the THC market, which includes Delta-8 and THCA products.
The proposed legislation seeks to ban the sale of hemp-derived products containing any detectable amount of THC, which is responsible for the high marijuana produces.
Governor Abbott's regulatory model includes labeling requirements, laboratory testing, age limits for sales, and restrictions on THC levels per dose to safeguard consumers.
Despite the push for a ban, there are divisions within the Republican Party, with some members advocating for regulation rather than outright elimination of THC products.
The new bill's ban would include Delta-8 and THCA, which have been marketed legally due to a loophole established by the federal Farm Bill.
