Abbott suggested Texas lawmakers come up with a regulatory framework that includes the following:

  • Sales must be prohibited near schools, churches, parks, playgrounds and other areas frequented by children
  • Child-resistant, tamper-evident and resealable packaging that is not marketed in a manner that is “attractive to children”
  • Stores selling THC products must have a permit and restrict access to anyone under the age of 21, with strict penalties for those who fail to comply
  • Products with THC cannot contain any other psychoactive substances such as alcohol, nicotine or kratom
  • Required testing at every phase of production and manufacturing of both plants and consumable products
  • Manufacturing and processing facilities must be subject to permitting and food safety rules
  • Permit and registration fees must be sufficient to support “robust enforcement and testing”
  • Operator’s permit and warning/danger signs must be posted at any store selling hemp products with THC
  • Sales must be limited to the hours between 10 a.m. and 9 p.m., and prohibited on Sundays
  • The amount of THC in each product must be restricted and an individual can only make a limited number of purchases in a certain time
  • Labels of hemp products must include a surgeon general-style warning and a clear disclosure of all ingredients, including THC content, with a scannable QR code linked to test results
  • Public consumption on the premise of any store that sells hemp products with THC must be punishable as a crime
  • The attorney general, district attorneys and county attorneys must have the authority to pursue violations of the Deceptive Trade Practices Act
  • Local governments must have the option to prohibit or limit stores selling THC products
  • Excise taxes must be assessed and collected to fund oversight and enforcement

June 22, 2025 SB 2024 Bans Cannabinoid Vapes Effective Sept 1, 2025 along with vape containing Kratom Kava, Mushrooms.

June 10, 2025 Texas Tribune  Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick’s push to ban THC in Texas draws rare backlash from the right.

Continue to Contact your legislators.

If anyone of the “Aye’s” who voted for the SB3 ban is in your district, you should seriously think about running against them in the next election or at least vote them out of office.  Members of the House put together a bill that would have regulated hemp but the Senate wanted a complete ban.  The house members that voted “aye” let that happen. And now we may be left with no regulation at all.  We want regulation in Texas.  

Texas Tribune May 1, 2025 “The last draft of the House bill  would have allowed retailers to continue selling edibles and drinks, along with low-dose smokable hemp flower. It would ban vapes and allow counties to vote to ban consumable hemp.

The bill called for a much tighter regulatory system. It would require products to be sold in child-resistant packaging that does not resemble popular snacks or otherwise appear marketed to kids. And it would establish an age limit that does not exist under the current law, restricting sales to those 21 and older.

Sales would also be barred within 1,000 feet of a school or certain other areas frequented by children.”
