Texas Keeps THC Market Alive: Governor's Veto Sparks Debate

Texas, USATuesday, June 24, 2025

Texas is still a go for THC products. Governor Greg Abbott said no to a bill that would have banned all THC edibles. This means THC-infused vapes, gummies, and other goodies can keep selling. The bill would have been super strict, one of the toughest in the U. S. Why did Abbott veto it? Maybe he saw the big bucks. The THC market in Texas is huge, worth billions. Banning it could have hurt jobs and businesses. Plus, many people rely on these products for relief, especially those who can't get medical marijuana easily. The bill came after a 2018 federal law. It let states regulate hemp, which can be turned into THC. This opened the door for THC products to flood the market, even in states with strict marijuana laws. Texas has some of the toughest marijuana rules, but THC products have been a loophole. Some lawmakers say these products are risky. They point out there's no federal oversight on how they're made. Other states have set age limits and potency rules, but Texas was aiming for a full ban. Critics argue this would cut off a legal way for people to get relief similar to marijuana. Last year, Florida's governor vetoed a similar bill. He thought it would hurt small businesses. So, Texas is not alone in this debate. The question is, will the state find a middle ground? Or will the THC market keep booming as it is?
