Texas Regulators Adopt Emergency Rules on Hemp-Derived THC Sales
['Anthony Martinelli']
The Marijuana Herald
The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) has enacted emergency rules restricting sales of consumable hemp products that contain THCThe move comes after Governor Greg Abbott issued an executive order earlier this month calling for the change.
Approved at the commission’s meeting Tuesday, the rules ban sales of hemp-derived THC products to anyone under 21 and allow the state to revoke licenses for businesses that violate the restrictions.
Governor Abbott directed state agencies to take immediate action after lawmakers failed to reach agreement on broader regulation during recent special sessions.
While he vetoed a bill that would have banned all THC products, Abbott ordered tighter oversight, particularly to keep them out of the hands of minors.
The emergency rules take effect immediately, but enforcement will not begin until October 1.
