NEXSTAR-This Sunday may be 4/20 in favor of cannabis TEXANS, as the state’s legislative body is close to banning THC products. On March 19, the Senate passed in Texas Senate Bill 3Prohibiting all forms of THC, the basic compound of the psychological effect in hemp or marijuana.
SB 3 was one of the priority of the governor of Lieutenant Dan Patrick for this session, and aims to take strict measures against the state’s consumer hemp market.
“I hope this will be from here 31 to anything members,” Patrick said before Senate voted 26-5 to pass SB 3.
This comes after the legislators in Texas under the marketing of cannabis in 2019 by passing the legislation that allowed the products to be sold at the THC levels, which are less than 0.3 % in Texas. But Patrick It is claimed that retailers have offended the treatment of the law Using vulnerabilities for market products with ThC levels above the legal threshold, especially for minors.
“The students themselves came and said that you have to ban THC, all over our schools,” Patrick said.
This draft law aims to reduce these concerns by banning the sale of hemp products consumed to minors under the age of 21. It also limits hemp sales to CBD and CBG products only and requires that these products be classified appropriately and placed in clear and resistant packages for children. Moreover, the draft law creates new criminal crimes to prevent the sale of illegal products in Texas.
Local companies such as Hometown Hero – a heard wholesale dealer in Austin on the support of old warriors and mental health – said that the death of this means closing their business even though they were following all the regulations.
“There are many people who have invested their entire life savings over the past six years and they are compatible on their own. They follow all rules. They follow the regulations. So I think the question will be, why does someone want to come after making some? This is what people should ask, what is the motive?”
Kapura believes that fighting for the organization is the only solution.
“There are about three million people in Texas who actively use hemp derived from hemp. Any about 10 % of the population who use these products actively. What will be the next if we do not stand and fight for the rights of adults and old warriors to use these products? What is the next thing that they come after because they do not like them?
Kapura said that regardless of the laws that are placed, the complete ban will not be valid.
“The prohibition places things under the ground. It forces people to go to places where they do not usually go to reach the products.”
She believes that thinking with the house is their best hope. However, there is a similar invoice that focuses on organizing ThC products at home. The House 28 Bill will prohibit all consumables such as Vapes and Edibles, but it regulates the elements of the THC beverages. HB28 and SB3 are currently leaving hanging on the Texas State Affairs Committee.
As far as the celebration 4/20, Cabrara said he felt completely different this year.
“4/20 is less celebrated in my mind than what we need most to focus on being the day of our independence, right?” Caprera said.
Patrick insists on passing SB 3, he threatened to force a special session despite the lack of a clear authority to do so. Special sessions can only be called by the ruler, but as a lieutenant ruler, Patrick can kill major legislation in the Senate to force the hand of the ruler Greg Abbott.
Lieutenant Patrick is serious [about forcing a special session]Stephen Arani, Patrick Communications Director, said in a statement. A 15 -year -old was released to his mother and sister in February after taking it in Thc’s gums. You are a right that we cannot leave Austin without prohibiting all Delta 8 and 9. ”
