2:21Now PlayingOn May 21, 2025, the Texas House passed Senate Bill 3 with a 95–44 vote, aiming to ban all consumable hemp-derived THC products, including delta-8 and delta-9, while exempting CBD and CBG. The legislation, championed by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, introduces strict penalties: possession becomes a Class A misdemeanor, and manufacturing or selling is a third-degree felony. Critics, including veterans and hemp industry advocates, warn the ban could devastate the state's multibillion-dollar hemp sector and push consumers toward unregulated markets. The bill awaits final procedural steps before reaching Governor Greg Abbott's desk, with opponents urging a veto to protect public health and economic interests.
