Texas Tribune: The Texas Senate approved a measure on Wednesday that would ban products with any level of THC. That includes those products that do not exceed the 0.3% THC federal limit for industrial hemp.
Senate Bill 3 was approved by the Senate with a vote of 24-7. This bill would ban THC. Next, the proposal will be sent to the House of Representatives which is drafting its own bill that aims at regulating the hemp industry. The House proposal, however, focuses on new regulatory rules and regulations, such as licensing and supervision, instead of a ban on hemp-based products.
Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick (R) — who last year made banning THC in Texas one of his top priorities for 2025 — supports the Senate proposal, and he called the effort one of the “top five” bills of his entire political career, the report said.
“This is a poison in our public, and we as a Legislature — our No. Life and death matters are our No. 1 concern. “We’re going ban all of your shops before we depart here for good. — Lt. Gov. Patrick in a morning press conference on Wednesday, via The Tribune
Lobbyists for the hemp industry have called on lawmakers to reconsider the ban. They claim that the action would shut down the Texas hemp sector and eliminate tens thousands of jobs in the state.
A poll conducted by the University of Houston Hobby School of Public Affairs in February found that 62% of Texas citizens supported legalizing cannabis for adult use and its sale.
