Concentrates are back to a Felony.
D8 may have been stripped from bills and nothing may have passed but the Department of Health clarified
D8 was never legal.
So its a crapshoot again!
Commissioner Hellerstedt and DSHS are asserting that cannabis and cannabis products with more than .3% total THC are already illegal in Texas, even if the THC is Delta-8 and derived from hemp.
At CannaCon in OKC everyone was wondering how this absolute flood of companies could possibly be viable in the relatively small Oklahoma market. One word: Texas
Well it looks like the governor Abbott is calling for a special session.
Last night the democratic Senators walked out as a vote to reform election laws came to a vote. They walked out, making it impossible to have a vote on a bill that would of passed. Abbott threatened them with their paychecks.
So its possible for the revised hemp bills to come to another vote.
Glad they walked out the GOP in Texas should be ashamed of themselves. Openly trying to restrict voting. Thought it was funny how the Democrats totally scrapped all the bullshit GOP tried to add into the bill too like “nah you crusty old dirt bags gtfo”
Does the department of health have the abiloty to modify state laws? I.e. say d8 is illegal when no state or federal laws explicitly say that? I’m just asking, of the law is written wrong then they should rewrite it imo.
It want work.
Abbott will not fund their budget, they want get paid.
If your not willing to do your job, do you think you deserve to get paid?
I dont, think so. I have a hunch most Texans will have the same opinion.
As it stands now, the bill would bar election officials from proactively mailing out absentee ballots or applications for them. It would also greatly empower partisan poll watchers, granting them greater and closer access to voters and making it extremely difficult for election officials to remove observers for bad behavior. The bill also sets new penalties, and raises existing ones, for election officials who provide assistance to voters in ways that are found to violate the rules.
New amendments proposed by Democrats in the late-night negotiations last week also included a few measures to expand voting access, including a provision that would require judges to inform people if a conviction will prohibit them from voting, rather than automatically charging such people with a crime if they try to vote despite a previous conviction.
The late-night alterations on Thursday and Friday of last week stripped the bill of some of its more onerous provisions, including bans on drive-through voting and 24-hour voting; new rules for voting machine allocation that could force some municipalities to reduce their number of polling locations; and allowing partisan poll watchers to video-record or photograph voters.
