Delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol, found an unlikely vehicle in
House Bill 2593. Last Friday in the Senate, that bill, originally intended to reduce penalties for possession of cannabis concentrates for vaping and edibles, was amended to redefine "total THC" to include all isomers of marijuana's essential element Delta-9-THC. The bill was subsequently passed.
Unless the House goes to conference to hash out the differences between the bill they passed in April and the recently amended version, Delta-8 products will become illegal on Sept. 1. As of press time, with six days left in the
87th Texas Legislature's regular session, no conference committee has been named.
