The 2025 Texas legislative session starts in about a month on Jan.14, and lawmakers will be discussing a bill proposing a complete ban on all forms of consumable THC products, according to Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick.
Marijuana is illegal in Texas, but a 2019 law meant to promote agriculture is why Texans can buy low-level THC products like smokable vapes, gummies, and seltzers.
Consumable hemp products are required by law to contain no more than 0.3% THC — the intoxicating part of the cannabis plant that comes in forms like delta-8, delta-9, and THCA — but Patrick claims that some items sold in Texas far exceed the limit.
If Senate Bill 3 passes, Patrick says the days of legally buying any of those products would be over. The low-bill number, Senate Bill 3, signals it is among his top priorities for the upcoming legislative session.
Earlier this year, a Houston business named THC Club was raided because investigators said what they were selling was too potent by law.
