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.
  • Gov. Abbott said he would evaluate all concerns, while veterans and small businesses urge a veto due to the bill's economic impact on an estimated 50,000 jobs and billions in revenue.
  • If enacted, the bill will reshape Texas' hemp industry markedly, aiming to reduce access to potentially harmful products but igniting debate over public safety versus economic and medical needs.
