Last update: 21 minutes agoTexas THC Politics: Texas Senate nominee James Talarico calls the new ban on many hemp-derived THC products “a gift to the cartels,” arguing enforcement will push buyers back to the black market. Legal Challenge: Hemp retailers and a distributor have sued Texas, saying the crackdown violates 2018 Farm Bill protections and burdens interstate commerce. Product Rules: The Texas limits target synthetically created THC types (including delta-8, delta-10, THCA flower and THCP), while delta-9 under 0.3% THC by dry weight remains legal.

Workforce & Access: Illinois cannabis cultivation workers at Ascend Wellness ended a 30-day strike after ratifying a Teamsters contract, while Arizona launched senior-focused cannabis kiosks at a retirement community.
