Texas Court Allows Smokable Hemp Products Back On Shelves
A federal appeals court has approved a mandate requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in every Texas classroom. The ruling could determine if thousands of Texans are permitted to purchase legal cannabis flowers and extracts. The legal fight is currently playing out in the state's judicial system. The legal fight involves member station KUT in Austin. Nathan Bernier reports that prohibiting these sales could impact thousands of small retailers and drive consumers toward illegal markets. The ruling affects products shipped across state lines and located throughout the country. The case involves retailers such as Turp House in South Austin. Texas law distinguishes hemp from marijuana based on low levels of Delta 9 THC. However, hemp contains THCA, which converts to Delta 9 when heated or smoked. The order maintains higher fees on businesses despite the product availability.
