I mean, Texas already effectively has a ban on THC. They ONLY allow medical cannabis and it can’t be more than 1% THC by weight.
Joe Rogan is already flying above the law and I assume he’ll stay there for a while.
Texas only has a ban on Δ^9^-THC (>0.3%). The other, more novel, psychoactive cannabinoids like Δ^8^-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.
Texas has vape shops on every corner that sell all of the Delta-# variations in all of the forms (vape, wax, edibles, even flower, etc...), including good ol' straight-up delta-9 that falls below the federal maximum percent-by-weight requirements.
But won't bringing them in through state borders be equal to narco trafficking? Thus making it very inconvenient at least, especially for his lower lackeys?
