Pretty inconvenient: RGV smoke shops clear shelves as Texas outlaws hemp-derived THC products
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Texas has implemented a ban on several hemp-derived THC products, effective July 31, following a Supreme Court ruling. Items such as delta-8, delta-10, and THCA flower are now illegal, while delta-9 THC remains permissible if under 0.3% THC by dry weight. Irving Aquino, manager of Cyberskunk Smokeshop in McAllen, reported having to remove many popular products from shelves, which significantly impacts profits, especially for smaller shops. Hidalgo County District Attorney Terry Palacios warned that local agencies can now arrest individuals for possessing banned products, highlighting the serious consequences for first-time offenders. Shops are now focusing on legal products to stay afloat.
