The Texas House passed a bill Wednesday banning products that contain THC, the psychoactive compound found in marijuana. The legislation is headed to Gov. Greg Abbott’s (R-TX) desk.
While products are currently allowed to have trace amounts of Delta 9 THC, the bill would bar them from having any of the substance. In addition, it would ban alternative forms of THC people use to get high, including Delta 8, Delta 10, THCA, THCV, THCP, and THC-O-acetate.
Cannabinoids that are not intoxicating or psychoactive, such as CBD and CBG, are excluded from the ban.
