CBD and CBG, cannabinoids that aren't psychoactive, would be available to those 21 and over.

Gummies, vapes, drinks and few regulations. Here's what to know about the ingredients that get you high as Texas lawmakers hold a special legislative session to regulate them.

After an attempt to ban THC was vetoed by Gov. Greg Abbott last month, the Texas Senate has revived similar legislation in the state's current special session. The chamber held its first hearing Tuesday on Senate Bill 5. The proposal, which is backed by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, bans THC and puts regulations on products containing CBD and CBG.

Dallas and the Texas Attorney General's office jointly asked a court to issue a temporary injunction blocking a voter-approved measure decriminalizing small amounts of marijuana.

Although Patrick and hemp industry leaders have quarreled over the risks and benefits of THC, cannabis researchers say it can be addictive but doesn’t usually cause widespread psychosis or brain damage.

The House on Wednesday approved the ban, after previously considering proposals to preserve the industry by tightening regulations.

Two and a half years after its passage, the Denton City Council voted 4-3 Tuesday night to repeal the low-level marijuana decriminalization ordinance that city officials refused to enforce.

The City Council is likely to repeal Denton’s low-level marijuana decriminalization ordinance on Tuesday, which has never been enforced since more than 32,000 voters passed it in 2022, in the city’s largest-ever turnout for a municipal election.

Senate Bill 3, a priority item for Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, was approved in a 24-7 vote Wednesday afternoon. It now heads to the Texas House for consideration.

Dallas District Court Judge Dale Tillery denied Attorney General Ken Paxton’s attempt of a temporary injunction, which would blocked the city’s decriminalization of misdemeanor marijuana possession.

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick proposed a ban on all non-prescribed THC earlier this month. But business experts and cannabis researchers say restrictions could work instead.
