City Cast Austin

Vapes Out, THC Drinks In, and What Else is Now Legal in Austin

Listen Later

Austinites and Texans overwhelmingly support keeping consumable hemp products legal, even after the Texas Legislature focused its sights on addressing the state’s largely unregulated THC market. But after Gov. Greg Abbott vetoed the THC ban that lawmakers passed during the regular session — and subsequent attempts in the first and second special sessions also failed — where exactly did we land on what’s legal to use and sell in town? (Spoiler alert: No more disposable vapes.) And after Gov. Abbott’s executive order that stopped minors from purchasing any consumable hemp products, could other regulations be coming? Host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by Mary Jae cannabis dispensary co-owner Jae Graham-Anciso and Heather Fazio, director of the Texas Cannabis Policy Center, to get into the weeds on the latest on consumable hemp.
