The Texas Senate passed a bill banning all forms of THC, aiming to shut down the state’s booming hemp market. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, a key supporter, says the products are dangerous and widely available. The bill passed 24-7 and would outlaw THC in gummies, drinks, and vapes currently sold statewide. Opponents argue the ban will kill jobs, push sales underground, and limit access to therapeutic THC. The Texas House is considering a separate bill focused on regulation rather than a full ban.
