What to know about the delta-8 ban that takes effect July 31 - KERA News
Texas bans delta-8 THC and other hemp-derived psychoactive cannabinoids effective July 31, 2024. Businesses must halt sales and remove products.
Aforeworn detected this change in the Cannabis & Hemp Operators space on July 24, 2026 and published this briefing so affected operators are forewarned rather than caught off guard. It is rated Critical. Hemp-derived THC brands, processors/manufacturers, and dispensaries in Texas should confirm how it applies to their specific situation before acting.
