Just before the June 22 midnight veto deadline, Gov. Greg Abbott axed Senate Bill (SB) 3, which would have banned the manufacture, sale, and possession of hemp-derived THC products.
Otherwise known as “Banning THC in Texas,” SB 3 allowed products to be sold that contained cannabidiol (CBD) or cannabigerol (CBG) but with a 21-year-old age minimum for purchases. SB 3 also would have required packaging to be made without bright colors or cartoon images, in order to not be attractive to minors. The law would also have prohibited retailers from having stores within 1,000 feet of a school.
