?? Major Shakeup for Texas Hemp Industry? ?? A new bill is making waves in the Texas legislature. Senate Bill 3 could ban non-medical THC products like Delta-8 and Delta-9, closing what lawmakers call a legal loophole. ?? Supporters, including Texas AG Commissioner Sid Miller, say it brings the law back to its original intent while paving the way for expanded medical marijuana access. ?? Critics argue it could cripple small businesses and push consumers to the black market. If passed, SB 3 could significantly reshape Texas’ cannabis laws—especially for businesses and professionals in the hemp industry. ??
