How Texas Senate Bill 3 and House Bill 46 Could Change the Landscape for THC, Medical Marijuana Users
- Texas lawmakers passed Senate Bill 3 to regulate consumable hemp products, with Governor Abbott having until June 22 to veto it before it becomes law.
- The bill responds to a largely unregulated hemp market that allows products containing Delta 8 and Delta 9 THC, which have raised safety concerns especially for children.
- Senate Bill 3 imposes licensing, testing, and packaging requirements for THC products, effectively banning most consumable THC with exceptions like CBD to protect public health.
