A new law that has banned Delta 8, Delta 10, THCa flower and THCP in Texas that effectively began on July 31 and has police monitoring for any persons carrying and if caught could face a felony charge with a punishment of 180 days to two years in prison and a fine up to $10,000.

Smoke shops citywide where informed that the only exception to the ban is Delta 9 with a “Tetrahydrocannabinols” or THC level of 0.3% cannabis for purchase with the age limit being 21 or older.

With the new law standing under Section 481.035 of the Texas Health & Safety Code, many Cannabidiol CBD, a “substance derived from the cannabis plant,” shops, according to the Texas State Law Library, are going to court for the ban on the psychedelic, derived drug, stating that the illegalization of the drugs goes against 2018 Farm Bill, an earlier bill that gave rights and legalized the sale of hemp and hemp programs.

In addition, the state of the hemp-derived industry is taking another turn on November 12 with CHPs, consumable hemp products, consisting of smokable products, CBD oils, gummies and edibles, body products and infused food and  drinks, which will review THC content as a defined stricter substance in “hemp” for a consumer’s usage.
