Texas bans smokable hemp products starting March 31, 2026, due to new THC rules, raising fees and threatening small businesses.
Starting March 31, 2026, Texas bans sale of smokable hemp products, including flower and extracts, under new rules redefining legal THC to include THCA, which converts to psychoactive Delta-9 THC when heated.
While edibles remain legal under stricter standards, retailers face a fee hike from $150 to $5,000 annually, and manufacturers must pay $10,000.
The rule, aligned with a federal USDA guideline, threatens small businesses, with some reporting smokable products account for nearly 40% of sales.
Critics warn the move may push consumers to unregulated markets, increasing safety and age verification risks.
The regulations apply only to manufacturing, distribution, and sale, not possession.
