Texas Considers Banning Products Infused with THC Derived From Hemp, and Retailers Are Worried

  • Texas lawmakers passed a bill in 2025 proposing to ban consumable products infused with THC derived from hemp statewide.
  • The ban follows concerns over unregulated THC products amid Texas' strict marijuana laws and differs from other states without recreational markets.
  • Retailers, farmers, and dispensaries, including hemp growers and Austin-based Dope Daughters, warn the ban could threaten 50,000 jobs and force closures.
  • A 2024 AP VoteCast survey showed about 60% of U.S. Voters favor recreational marijuana legalization, while Texas allows only three licensed dispensaries selling low-potency marijuana.
  • Governor Abbott has yet to decide on signing the bill amid competing pressures, with hemp industry leaders urging a veto and Lt. Gov. Patrick pushing for enforcement.
