The Texas Supreme Court lifted a temporary injunction preventing the Department of State Health Services from enforcing a rule effectively criminalizing delta-8.

Dr. Francesca Filbey, psychology professor and Bert Moore Chair in BrainHealth at UTD, shares what her research on hemp usage has found.

Wyatt Purp has operated off the Denton Square since 2024. The owners are hoping to get answers about whether they can remain in business after new regulations on smokeable hemp imposed by the state last month.

Katharine Harris with the Baker Institute at Rice University tracks the hemp industry in Texas. She says a more nuanced approach to consumable hemp regulations could make enforcement easier and deter bad behavior.

Business owners say DSHS overstepped its authority when it changed the regulations around consumable hemp products. The head of the Texas Hemp Business Council agrees.

The future of smokeable hemp in Texas is unclear. A temporary injunction hearing this week will answer some questions, but how are things looking right now?
