Texas has implemented a ban on several hemp-derived THC products effective July 31, following a Supreme Court ruling. Products like delta-8 and delta-10 are now illegal, while delta-9 THC remains permissible under 0.3% concentration. Irving Aquino, manager of Cyberskunk Smokeshop in McAllen, reported that he had to remove many popular items from his shelves, which significantly impacts local smoke shops, with losses estimated at over 50% of their margins. Hidalgo County District Attorney Terry Palacios warned that local law enforcement can now arrest individuals for possessing banned products, emphasizing the serious consequences for first-time offenders.
