“For more than seven years, Texans have built a multibillion-dollar hemp industry under laws that define these products as legal hemp.
However, delta-9 THC, the most commonly sold THC product in Texas, will remain legal.
Sen. Charles Perry, R-Lubbock, has already confirmed he will once again file a bill to ban consumable hemp products at the next legislative session.
