Texas tightens hemp THC rules, banning most synthetic forms while allowing low-THC delta-9 under 0.3%

Texas’ Supreme Court ruling that the Department of State Health Services can reclassify most hemp-derived THC as Schedule I goes into effect, banning the sale and possession of all synthetically created THC (including delta-8, delta-10, THCP, THCA). An exception applies to delta-9 products with less than 0.3% THC by dry weight, which may be sold in forms such as smokable products, CBD oil, gummies and edibles, topicals, and infused foods/drinks. Possessing or manufacturing the banned products will be a state jail felony, carrying 180 days to two years in prison and fines up to $10,000.
