Texas Legislature Fails to Pass Key Cannabis and Vape Legislation
TL;DR
The Texas legislature avoided a total ban on hemp-derived THC products during a special session, allowing these products to remain legal for now, despite ongoing debates and efforts to impose stricter regulations or bans, including age restrictions. The industry and retailers celebrated this outcome, though some sales, particularly of THC vapes, are expected to decline, and the legislative uncertainty continues to impact industry growth and regulation efforts.
