Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick announced Wednesday that lawmakers in the state Senate would move to ban all forms of consumable tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, in Texas.

      I mean, Texas already effectively has a ban on THC. They ONLY allow medical cannabis and it can’t be more than 1% THC by weight.

      Joe Rogan is already flying above the law and I assume he’ll stay there for a while.

        Texas only has a ban on Δ9-THC (>0.3%). The other, more novel, psychoactive cannabinoids like Δ8-THC, THCA, THCB, THCO, etc. are sold over-the-counter throughout the state. This would ban all of them.

        Also, Texas doesn’t have medical cannabis unfortunately.

        But won’t bringing them in through state borders be equal to narco trafficking? Thus making it very inconvenient at least, especially for his lower lackeys?

        Texas has vape shops on every corner that sell all of the Delta-# variations in all of the forms (vape, wax, edibles, even flower, etc…), including good ol’ straight-up delta-9 that falls below the federal maximum percent-by-weight requirements.
