Texas Politicians Push for Total THC Ban: A Fight for Freedom or Control?
Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick plans to introduce Senate Bill 3 in the upcoming Texas legislative session, aiming for a complete ban on all forms of THC, including hemp-derived products like delta-8 and THCa. This initiative, driven by concerns over unregulated sales and potential dangers to children, seeks to overturn existing laws allowing the sale of consumable hemp products. Opponents argue that such a ban is impractical, will harm businesses, and likely drive the market underground. The bill, to be carried by Senator Charles Perry, is expected to face significant opposition from the hemp industry and consumer advocacy groups.
