US EditionTexas Legislature Passes Bill to Ban All THC Products: What’s Next for the Industry?
- The Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 3 in May 2025 to ban all THC products, pending Governor Abbott's approval.
- The bill responds to a 2019 hemp law that allowed sale of THC-infused products with up to 0.3% THC, which critics say created unregulated market risks.
- Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick leads the ban effort, calling these products dangerous, unregulated, and targeting children, while industry leaders warn of job losses.
- The Texas hemp industry supports over 50,000 jobs and generates $8 billion annually, while a petition with nearly 60,000 signatures urges the governor to veto the bill.
- If signed, the THC product ban would take effect September 1, 2025, with uncertainty remaining about legal challenges and the bill's impact on businesses and consumers.
