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.

Texas narrows hemp THC options as delta-8 ban takes effect

Texas will ban most hemp-derived THC products—including delta-8 and delta-10—starting July 31, 2026, while delta-9 products with 0.3% or less THC by dry weight remain legal; the move follows a Texas Supreme Court ruling that reclassified hemp-derived THC as a schedule I substance. Possession of illegal THC will become a state jail felony with up to two years’ imprisonment and fines up to $10,000, and industry observers expect major reductions in shelf space (estimates of 60–90%). Some shops are preparing lawsuits, and the delta-9 market may persist in some forms, with delta-9 smokable hemp still available due to a court pause on that ban.
