Texas regulators have finalized a rule that will force smokable hemp THC products off retail shelves by March 31, 2026. The rule was adopted by the Texas Department of State Health Services following a public hearing process that generated more than 1,400 public comments.
Beginning next year, retailers in Texas will no longer be allowed to sell products such as THCA flower, pre-rolls, live resin, rosin, or other smokable hemp THC products.
The change stems from Texas adopting a “total THC” calculation, which counts THCA toward the legal THC limit. Once THCA is included in that formula, most smokable hemp products exceed the allowable threshold, effectively removing them from the legal market.
Edible hemp products such as gummies and THC beverages will still be allowed, but they will now face stricter testing, packaging, and licensing requirements.
Texas has been estimated to represent a multi-billion-dollar hemp market, with a significant portion of that revenue coming from smokable products, particularly THCA flower.
For operators, investors, and policymakers, the move could signal how other states may approach the intoxicating hemp loophole moving forward.
