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.
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?
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.
