Texas governor vetoes bill that would ban all THC products
June 22, 2025
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has vetoed a bill to ban all THC products. The Republican waited until the final moment Sunday to veto the measure that would have hampered a booming industry flush with THC-infused gummies, vapes and other goods found at stores across the state. The bill would have made it a misdemeanor to own, sell or manufacture THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol. A 2018 federal law allowing states to regulate hemp led to the proliferation of THC goods, which can be synthetically processed from hemp. This has led residents in states where marijuana is strictly prohibited, like Texas, to access goods that give a similar high.
