Joe Rogan spent a segment warning Republicans that Texas just made a political mistake, and Hawk thinks he is right about the politics even if the rest of the show is not his thing.
A hemp derived THC ban took effect July 31st, following a Texas Supreme Court ruling in May. Delta 8, Delta 10, THCP, and THCA flower are out. Delta 9 stays legal below the 0.3 percent dry weight threshold, which leaves ordinary customers to work out which shelf is now a felony.
The penalties are the part that stands out. A single gram can carry jail time and a state felony, which means losing firearm rights permanently in Texas. Larger quantities scale up fast. Products bought legally weeks ago are now contraband.
Seven years of legal sales built a multibillion dollar industry with real employees and real customers across both parties. Rogan's argument is that those people vote, and James Talarico and Gina Hinojosa are both running close races.
The Dallas Morning News has a good explainer on how the law works.
