Opponents of the bill worry about the hemp industry and those who rely on THC to treat mental health conditions.

The ban aims to remove products — made legal through a 2019 loophole — that provide a similar high to marijuana and are easily accessible to the general public.

Not quite, but lawmakers are very close. Both the Texas Senate and House have passed a full THC ban. Lawmakers are hashing out final details before sending their plan, Senate Bill 3, to Gov. Greg Abbott. Abbott has the power to veto it, but he has not made public statements about hemp.
