May 2 (UPI) -- A Texas judge on Friday temporarily paused the state's ban on smokable hemp products, such as flower and joints, after three industry groups and multiple companies based in the state sued over it.
The state in March expanded its limit on THC in hemp products from 0.3% levels of Delta-9 THC to cover any form of THC beyond the state's previous limit of 0.3% total THC in dry weight of the intoxicating group of chemicals.
This variety of chemicals includes Delta-8, various forms of Delta-9, and all other cannabinoids, with the exception of CBD and CBG.
The rule adopted by the state's health department effectively banned all smokable forms of hemp because vapes and e-cigarettes that contain any form of cannabinoid were banned in Texas last September, the Texas State Law Library reported.
