Texas Senate Pushes Forward with THC Ban Amid Rising Kratom Popularity
The Texas Senate is pushing to ban hemp-derived THC through Senate Bill 5, which would criminalize most hemp products containing cannabinoids other than CBD and CBG, despite opposition from the governor and hemp supporters who advocate for regulated sales. The bill aims to address enforcement issues and curb illegal markets, but faces significant resistance from industry advocates, veterans, and some lawmakers concerned about personal freedoms and economic impacts.
