Following ban, Texas hemp reps sue state for violating commerce protectionsThree members of the hemp industry are suing the state of Texas for violating commerce protections after it was announced last week that nearly all hemp-derived THC products are illegal. In addition to the complaint, the plaintiffs are also moving for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction to prevent the ban on these THC products. "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.
