Texas only has a ban on Δ9-THC (>0.3%). The other, more novel, psychoactive cannabinoids like Δ8-THC, THCA, THCB, THCO, etc. are sold over-the-counter throughout the state. This would ban all of them.
Also, Texas doesn’t have medical cannabis unfortunately.
I agree that effectively a policy this restrained is basically no medical program at all, if that’s what you’re saying.
But they do technically have a medical program? https://www.texas.gov/health-services/texas-medical-marijuana/
Oh, I’ll be damned. You’re right! They started that medical program in 2015. Is it more restrained than other states?Oh wait, I remember this program now; this is the CBD tincture for kids with epilepsy. It’s not medical THC; it’s a medical CBD program.
