Delta-8 THC is illegal, Texas Department of State Health Services says

The state of Texas now says a substance in the same family as marijuana called Delta-8 is illegal to use or sell. This comes as a surprise to many since Delta-8 can be easily found at smoke and CBD shops across the state.

    Are you kidding me?

    Delta 8 was the ONLY legal substance that REALLY treated my asthma well (in edible form of course) I could actually breathe and my airways were opened.

    Now I’m left with asthma meds that do not help as much as they should. I have been put on so many different things to address my breathing difficulties, but none of them help like Delta 8.

    Seriously why? Why can’t I treat my own asthma? I thought Texas was about freedom?

    This doesn’t diminish any demand for cannabis… CONGRATS to Texan politicians! Now I cannot live a normal life. Thanks.

  5. ryan steinborn on May 2, 2022 at 10:00 pm

    Why is the executive branch making laws when that balance of power is supposed to be controlled by the legislator I don’t know their constitution but probably can’t back them when clearly all you have to do to change it is scribble some chicken scratch on some website



  6. payday64 on May 2, 2022 at 10:00 pm

    Imagine getting arrested for weed. Now imagine getting arrested for CBD



  7. Mynuts inHD on May 2, 2022 at 10:00 pm

  8. Michael White on May 2, 2022 at 10:00 pm

    Tx. is just hurting themselves on taxable revenue. Go to another state and do business.



  9. Delta108 on May 2, 2022 at 10:00 pm

    What a joke. Out of all the problems, delta 8 is the biggest concern 😆



  10. Stonerman15 on May 2, 2022 at 10:03 pm

    Oh I thought this was America. Legalize medicinal and recreational cannabis
    I’m Not free at all.



  11. guest man on May 2, 2022 at 10:03 pm

    I see that why they ban it, but they need to give time for these business to get rid of products before making it illegal. Give them a 3-6 months to let them sell it.



  12. R8R_ Räy on May 2, 2022 at 10:08 pm

    Texas always doing the most lmao. Texas the sibling everyone low key hates



  13. Diego Elcuh on May 2, 2022 at 10:10 pm

    good thing they made it legal back again



  14. Stinky on May 2, 2022 at 10:13 pm

    It’s legal where I’m at



  15. Nammo Shawkat on May 2, 2022 at 10:13 pm

    Lmaoooo no way these clowns made delta 8 illegal, you woulda thought they would have bigger problems



  16. Duane Boles on May 2, 2022 at 10:14 pm

  17. Venom on May 2, 2022 at 10:14 pm

    👎🏾



  18. Raw Ross on May 2, 2022 at 10:14 pm

    Texas will let you walk around with a gun with no permit but you can’t smoke marijuana…? The hypocrisy it’s such a joke down here. Most people go to jail for crimes with marijuana possession, it’s big business in the system.



  19. darkcloud669 on May 2, 2022 at 10:16 pm

    Great job Texas let’s keep that black market going strong.



  20. Samuel Gonzales on May 2, 2022 at 10:17 pm

    Delta-8, and delta9 should be illegal. Free the weed….



  21. Captain Howdy on May 2, 2022 at 10:17 pm

    Our lawmakers are idiots



  22. CavesOfMemories II LostVital on May 2, 2022 at 10:21 pm

    They hate us cause they ain’t us



  23. DeathKid on May 2, 2022 at 10:21 pm

    how tf can you just go back and re-edit your laws like oh whoopsies i forgot to add this, No this is unconstitutional for additional lines to be added to a law the law must once again go through legislation like every other law, you cant just scribble in something new because you found out a loop hole was made



  24. Bobby 2pistolz on May 2, 2022 at 10:22 pm

    They do this, but at the same time they recently passed a law allowing businesses to sell alcohol at later hours. nice



  25. okaycoo on May 2, 2022 at 10:23 pm

    Awh man! Now the dangerous delta 8 smokers are gonna have to get it illegally. Awesome! Gotta love being a criminal!



  26. payday64 on May 2, 2022 at 10:23 pm

    Wait I thought delta 8 was considered cbd?



  27. Trippington Productions & Co. on May 2, 2022 at 10:24 pm

    So .3% hemp extract is a schedule1? Same as meth? Okay Texas you’re drunk



  28. King of Low End Paintball on May 2, 2022 at 10:25 pm

    Nothing’s changed per the law. This is just DHS trying to push their weight around and intimidate people into doing what they want.



  29. Turtle looklike Urkel on May 2, 2022 at 10:27 pm

    I’m not surprised my family thought I smoking weed again 🤦



  30. EphemeralZX on May 2, 2022 at 10:27 pm

    man this state….



  31. s a d / 1 0 on May 2, 2022 at 10:28 pm

    Anyone else find it weird that they’d rather give the business to the cartel?
    Rather than hard working business owners



  32. Oldsole guidry on May 2, 2022 at 10:28 pm

    Just legalize real weed! This is so ridiculous.



  33. BrandonDetroitfan Michaels on May 2, 2022 at 10:29 pm

    Texas is protecting their "boarders" to be in bed, with the cartes! 😂 Well done TEXA$$ wooooo!



  34. G on May 2, 2022 at 10:30 pm

    Vote out Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick and Gov. Greg Abbott. They are the biggest oppositions to full legalization.



  35. darkcloud669 on May 2, 2022 at 10:31 pm

    Pfff, fine then they just gonna sell delta-10, or THC-O 😂😂😂 just give up y’all lost



  36. Corona Phyrrus on May 2, 2022 at 10:31 pm

    LMFAO



  37. Shane Mcguire on May 2, 2022 at 10:31 pm

    Meanwhile at the White House: Biden funds accessories to shoot up with and safe smoking kits to be used for smoking meth and crack…WTF!!



  38. Jeffrey Wolfe on May 2, 2022 at 10:31 pm

    So real weed is a ticketable offense. And fake weed is a felony.



  39. Brenda Mitchell on May 2, 2022 at 10:31 pm

    Do you know when she is going to make a decision



  40. Mr. MeatPax on May 2, 2022 at 10:33 pm

    People still fighting over grass? Smh 🤦‍♂️



  41. Yoda Lei Hee Hu on May 2, 2022 at 10:35 pm

    The only ones who truly benefit from the ban are those who profit illegally from marijuana sales and the Texas Department of State Health Service is in their back pockets.



  42. Vinh Nguyen on May 2, 2022 at 10:35 pm

    Ooooooh let’s ban a milder version of weed but make alcohol sales earlier on Sunday. Man Texas and its leaders full of back water boomers



  43. S B on May 2, 2022 at 10:37 pm

    No DA is going to convict on this. Much bigger problems to face.



  44. MatchaTea on May 2, 2022 at 10:39 pm

    better vote to change your laws



  45. Oscar R on May 2, 2022 at 10:41 pm

    So the question is, where do the people go now. They go back to the "the guy" and get that good ole black market weed which nowadays is only getting nastier by the minute. Even something as innocent as cannabis can cause so much harm on the black market because all that money is going back to people that are doing other horrible things. Its all connected in some way and we can all thank Texas. Thanks texas for creating this black market, thanks for giving money to organized criminals that not only sell weed but other drugs on the black market. Youre doing a great job texas. Keep up the shi**y work!



  46. Brandon Barrington on May 2, 2022 at 10:43 pm

    Delta 8 & 10 is covered in the first definition of house bill 1325 lol, that’s why they’re getting sued



  47. Am on May 2, 2022 at 10:48 pm

    Wow how backwards can Texas get. I hope Florida doesn’t do the same or they will put tons of shops out of business 🤦🏻‍♂️



  48. J Smokes on May 2, 2022 at 10:51 pm

    Nice fake news. It’s still not illegal in Texas



  49. ace nj on May 2, 2022 at 10:51 pm

    we cant have anything here like dang
