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.

        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.

        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?
