Texas Just Shocked Everyone by Banning THC—What Are They Really Protecting Us From? In a sudden and sweeping move that has sent waves across the nation, Texas has officially banned THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the psychoactive compound found in marijuana. Local and federal lawmakers claim the ban is part of a broader effort to protect public health and safety— but what does this really mean for Texans, and what are officials truly aiming to guard against? ### The NEW THC Ban: Texas Officially Takes a Hard Stance In a landmark decision this year, Texas became one of the most restrictive states by classifying THC as a controlled substance across all forms, including oils, concentrates, edibles, and even CBD products containing detectable levels of THC. This ban follows a larger push from conservative policymakers to address concerns over youth access, mental health risks, and long-term societal impacts linked to cannabis use.
