The Federal Aviation Administration and National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are convening a series of meetings to help develop new marijuana-related fitness-for-duty standards for pilots and air traffic controllers in light of the Trump administration’s rescheduling move—which “introduces significant operational risk” by “increasing the likelihood and normalization of cannabis use.” The Sun Lakes Country Club in Arizona is launching a new cannabis kiosk that residents of the senior living community can use to order marijuana for delivery, using what the companies Life Is Chill and LoveBud call “easy mode”—featuring large navigation elements, a curated menu and a streamlined process. A new scientific review concludes that the roots of cannabis plants are an “underexplored” and “valuable source of pharmacologically active molecules with potential therapeutic applications”—including terpenes and cannabinoids. “C. sativa roots possess antioxidant, antiinflammatory, antinociceptive, and antispasmodic activities, as well as promising antibacterial and antifungal properties, with no reports of cytotoxicity or genotoxicity.” Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins touted “massive progress” in the development of psychedelic therapies—saying that in the past there was “more of a wait-and-see approach, and now we’re being more cutting-edge.” The Utah Department of Agriculture and Food will begin accepting applications for a new independent medical cannabis pharmacy license on Monday as part of an expansion meant to provide access to patients in “medically underserved” parts of the state. / FEDERAL Former Drug Enforcement Administration Assistant Administrator John J. Coleman authored an op-ed urging the agency not to reschedule marijuana. Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) sent a press release about his cosponsorship of a bill to federally legalize marijuana. The House bill to federally regulate hemp THC products got two new cosponsors for a total of three. / STATES Kansas gubernatorial candidates discussed their views on marijuana policy. A Texas representative tweeted, “I stopped by a store that sells THC products yesterday and it was closed. A regular customer came as I was leaving and was disappointed to find it closed. She said she has rheumatoid arthritis and their products help her. Another customer came by moments later. Where will these people go instead? We should legalize and regulate these products in Texas.” An Ohio appeals court ruled that police can use visible signs of marijuana use as probable cause to search a vehicle. Colorado regulators issued health and safety advisories about marijuana products with pesticides above the acceptable limits. Maryland officials released a study showing that middle and high school students’ use of marijuana has declined since legalization was enacted.

  12. U.S. Senate leaders have included provisions to delay the planned federal recriminalization of hemp THC products in a key new spending bill. Industry advocates believe the move will give them more time to convince Congress to enact comprehensive regulations to effectively regulate, rather than prohibit, the products. Hemp derivatives with less than 0.3 percent delta-9 THC on a dry-weight basis were federally legalized under the 2018 Farm Bill that President Donald Trump signed during his first term in office. But late last year, the president signed new legislation containing provisions that will redefine hemp to make it so only products with 0.4 milligrams of total THC per container will remain legal after November 12. On Sunday, leaders of the Senate Appropriations Committee released the text of a bill to extend funding for federal agencies through December 11, past the end of the current fiscal year on September 30. Included in the legislation are provisions that will also delay the planned prohibition on most hemp products until December 11—although there is a carve-out that will allow the immediately recriminalization on November 12 of synthetic cannabinoids “that are not capable of being naturally produced by a Cannabis sativa L. plant.” Last month, the House of Representatives passed its own version of the continuing resolution to keep federal agencies funded, but it did not have any provisions to alter the planned hemp product ban. As such, if the Senate passes its new provision it would then still need approval by the other chamber before being sent to the president. “As Mark Twain might have said, ‘The reports of hemp’s death have been greatly exaggerated.’ Passage of the continuing resolution (CR) in its current form would be a landmark victory for the hemp industry—our biggest win since the 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp,” Jonathan Miller, general counsel for the U.S. Hemp Roundtable, said in a press release. “We are deeply grateful to congressional leaders of both parties, as well as to the president for his strong support for our farmers and businesses,” he said. “But our work is not done—we will be deeply engaged in ensuring that the current language is retained through the Senate and House CR votes, and then we will be working toward a more comprehensive fix when we reach the next government funding deadline in December.” Meanwhile, a number of lawmakers from both chambers and both parties have filed or are circulating a growing number of bills to prevent the scheduled federal recriminalization of hemp THC drinks and other products later this year. Until now, none of those proposals have gained traction with congressional leaders. For example, Rep. James Comer (R-KY), who chairs the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, is circulating legislation that would delay a planned federal ban on hemp THC products and institute some regulations—including packaging requirements, testing rules and age limits. Separately, Rep. Andy Barr (R-KY), filed a lengthier proposal to prevent the federal recriminalization of hemp THC products and put in place a number of regulations for manufacturing, labeling, sales and taxation of hemp-derived products, including an age limit of 21. A press release from the congressman’s office claimed that the White House supports the legislation, which is cosponsored by Rep. Angie Craig (D-MN), but the administration has not specifically endorsed it despite generally calling for hemp regulations and backing a prior similar amendment filed by Barr. Trump and White House officials have in recent weeks repeatedly pressed Congress to delay, alter or reverse the ban. In a letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) last month, for example, White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russell Vought said the Trump administration wants lawmakers to “ensure the fair treatment of hemp products”—specifically citing Barr’s earlier amendment to keep many hemp products legal while adding regulations and taxes. The administration “welcomes the opportunity to work with the Congress to, at a minimum, update the statutory definition of final hemp-derived cannabinoid products to allow Americans to benefit from access to appropriate full-spectrum CBD products,” OMB separately said last month, “while preserving the Congress’s intent to restrict the sale of products that pose serious health risks.” Also in April, the president himself urged congressional lawmakers to again redefine hemp to avoid recriminalization of full-spectrum CBD products. “I am calling on Congress to update the Law to ensure that Americans can continue to access the full-spectrum CBD products they have come to rely on, and that help them, while preserving Congress’s intent to restrict the sale of products that pose Health risks,” Trump said in a Truth Social post. “We must get this done RIGHT and FAST, especially for those who saw that CBD helps them,” he said. “Plus, I am told it will also help our GREAT FARMERS, who we love, and will always be there for.” Industry advocates say that the law as enacted last year not only threatens to prohibit intoxicating and synthetic cannabinoid products but also stands to remove popular full-spectrum CBD products that many Americans use therapeutically from the market. “ONE in FIVE adults used it in the past year, and many say it improved their chronic pain enormously,” the president said in his social media post, adding that hemp-derived CBD “has made a HUGE difference for so many people.” He also referenced a new initiative the administration launched in April to cover up to $500 worth of hemp-derived products each year for eligible Medicare patients. The program being implemented by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) focuses largely on CBD but also allows products to have up to 3 milligrams of total THC per serving. A federal judge granted the government’s motion to dismiss marijuana legalization opponents’ lawsuit challenging the initiative, but that is being appealed. “In December, I signed a very important Executive Order calling for Research and Innovation for Hemp-derived CBD,” Trump said. “Our wonderful Dr. Mehmet Oz moved fast to follow the directive in the Executive Order, and launched a model for some Seniors earlier this month. But more must be done!” “Please get it done, and SOON,” the president said in reference to a congressional fix for the broad recriminalization set to take effect in November. “Thank you for your attention to this matter!” The Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America (WSWA), an alcohol industry trade association issued praise for Barr’s bipartisan hemp regulation bill, but said the measure’s tax provisions require “continued discussion.” Hemp policy observers expect to see a Senate companion bill to Barr’s proposal filed soon, likely from Sens. Tim Sheehy (R-MT) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN). Sheehy recently cited hemp legislation as an area where Republicans and Democrats can work together in an otherwise “hyperpartisan time.” — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

The National Restaurant Association recently sent a letter urging congressional leaders to delay the federal recriminalization of hemp THC beverages and replace it with a regulatory framework that “ensures consumer safety while meeting growing market demand” for the products as an alternative to alcohol. Major retailer Target, meanwhile, recently moved to expand its sales of hemp THC drinks into more states.

  16. “Having dependable local access to cannabis means that those who need it most will be able to access it safely and legally.” By Kate McKellar, Utah News Dispatch Next week, Utah state officials will begin accepting applications to license a new independent medical cannabis pharmacy to be located in a “medically underserved” or rural area with a population that’s smaller than Salt Lake, Utah, Davis or Weber counties. The Utah Department of Agriculture and Food announced in a news release Tuesday the application period will open on August 3, and it will remain open until September 2. The application is for the second of two independent medical cannabis pharmacies required to open under HB54, a bill passed by the Utah Legislature in 2025 that, among other measures, expanded the number of medical cannabis pharmacies allowed to operate in the state, including in “medically underserved” areas. It also aimed to create more opportunities for pharmacy operators that aren’t owned by large medical cannabis corporations. The first independent medical cannabis pharmacy to open under the bill was Boojum in Moab. Before it opened, the nearest medical cannabis pharmacy was in Price, a nearly two-hour drive away. Before Boojum opened this year, its chief science officer Olivia Kulunder told Moab Sun News “we were awarded this license over a two billion dollar holdings corporation from Chicago.” “While we might not have over 150 dispensaries to our name, that means we will be pouring everything we have into this one pharmacy,” Kulunder told the outlet at the time. Kulunder, who grew up in Castle Valley, also said the licensing board cited Boojum’s local connection as a key reason for awarding its license. “We do know that this distance drives a lot of people to go out of state, which carries legal risks,” Kulander told Moab Sun News. “Having dependable local access to cannabis means that those who need it most will be able to access it safely and legally.” Now it’s up to the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food to decide where the next pharmacy will go. The independent medical cannabis pharmacy will be required to operate under Utah Department of Agriculture and Food regulations “to ensure patient safety and product quality,” the department said. To be eligible for the license, applications “must demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of medical cannabis regulations, possess the necessary financial resources, and propose a secure and compliant facility,” the department said. The following requirements must also be met: Independence: The new licensee must not own a financial interest in a medical cannabis pharmacy or be owned by an entity that owns any interest in or operates a medical cannabis production establishment that is owned, partially or entirely, or operated by a medical cannabis production establishment. Location: The new licensee shall be located in an area designated as medically underserved and in counties with populations smaller than 260,000. Eligible counties include Box Elder, Cache, Iron, Summit, Tooele, Uintah, Washington, Beaver, Carbon, Duchesne, Millard, San Juan, Sanpete, Sevier, Wasatch, Emery, Grand, Juab, Kane, Morgan, Piute, Daggett, Garfield, Rich and Wayne counties. Facility plan: Each applicant is required to provide a detailed layout and security plan for the proposed pharmacy. Operational procedures: Each applicant must provide comprehensive standard operating procedures for dispensing, inventory management, and patient consultation. Personnel Qualifications: Each applicant must provide information on key personnel, including pharmacists and technicians, and their qualifications. After state officials review the applications, they’ll pick one proposed pharmacy to receive the license, which must be issued no later than January 1, 2027. For more information on how to apply, visit the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food’s website. This story was first published by Utah News Dispatch.

  17. “I think we’re making massive progress in how we diagnose things, but also how we do new treatments.” By Mitch Perry, Florida Phoenix Military veterans with PTSD and other mental health conditions may soon be able to use psychedelic drugs to aid in their treatment. In April, President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing health regulators to speed up reviews of psychedelic treatments and allocate more funding for research into their use. “I think we’re making massive progress in how we diagnose things, but also how we do new treatments, which in the past was more of a wait-and-see approach, and now we’re being more cutting-edge,” U.S. Secretary of Veteran Affairs Doug Collins said Wednesday. Collins spoke with reporters after attending a roundtable discussion with military veterans at American Legion Post 273 in Pinellas County with Republican U.S. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna. The VA is involved in 20 active clinical trials focused on psychedelic therapies. The first clinical study of psilocybin-assisted therapy in veterans with PTSD was released this week. It found that nine out of 12 veterans no longer met diagnostic criteria for PTSD one month after treatment. Psilocybin is a psychedelic compound found in mushrooms. The findings revealed “that PAT (Psilocybin-assisted therapy) is safe, well-tolerated, and shows preliminary clinical improvement for PTSD, suggesting that PAT may offer therapeutic relief for Veterans with severe treatment-resistant PTSD,” wrote researchers at the Center for Psychedelic Drug Research and Education in Columbus, Ohio. “The science does show that it’s effective but it’s not like, ‘Hey, just give them a pill and send them home,’” said Luna, a U.S. Air Force veteran. “There’s a lot that goes into that treatment—also something that I think has been brought to the forefront.” Everyone knows the VA isn’t perfect, but I’m grateful we finally have a leader who actually cares enough to travel around the country, hear from real Veterans, and make significant reforms to improve the VA, like working with President Trump to approve alternative medicinal… pic.twitter.com/Sw5rRxCjt9 — Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (@RepLuna) July 30, 2026 She gave credit to the Trump administration for considering alternative medical treatments for veterans with PTSD, saying “that would not have happened had people like the secretary, President Trump, and also Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pushing that, and those impacts it has on veterans’ long-term [care] in preventing suicide is incredible.” News reporters were not invited to attend the roundtable itself, but Luna said the topic of psychedelic therapy “was actually something that was discussed by them, and you will see those suicide numbers go down, which is really ultimately our biggest concern right now.” PTSD affects 6 percent of U.S. adults but somewhere between 10 percent to 30 percent of U.S. military veterans, according to the National Center for PTSD.

  23. Senior residents at some independent living communities will soon have access to on-site kiosks allowing them to easily buy marijuana products without having to travel to dispensaries. The retailer Life Is Chill and cannabis technology company LoveBud announced on Thursday that the first cannabis kiosk is coming to the Sun Lakes Country Club in Chandler, Arizona, which has 2,000 residents. The device will also be available to more than 12,000 other residents at neighboring sister communities. A spokesperson told Marijuana Moment that the marijuana kiosk will be installed on August 19, allowing seniors to learn about and order marijuana products for delivery. “At Sun Lakes Country Club, our goal is to provide our members with access to trusted resources that support their overall health and well-being,” Joe Rizzo, the facility’s director of food and beverage, said. “By partnering with organizations like Life Is Chill, we’re giving our community another opportunity to learn about all of the options available to them. Whether members ultimately choose to utilize these services or not, we believe having access to reliable information empowers them to make informed decisions about their own health.” Life Is Chill and LoveBud first announced the senior-targeted cannabis kiosk effort in February, but now it is coming to fruition. The companies are touting what they call the device’s “Easy Mode,” which features large navigation elements, a curated menu and streamlined ordering to make the process as easy as possible for seniors who might not want to download a specialized app for cannabis delivery. There will also be a promotional day every week where delivery fees are waived. “This kiosk represents much more than another ordering channel—it removes barriers that have prevented many seniors from comfortably accessing cannabis,” James Watkins, CEO of LoveBud, said. “Adults over 55 continue to be one of the fastest-growing groups embracing cannabis, yet the shopping experience hasn’t always evolved with them. Together with Life Is Chill, we’ve created a platform that’s intuitive, approachable, and designed around the needs of the people using it.” Dr. Dana Lillestol, senior education advocate for Life Is Chill, said that “from the beginning, our goal has been to simplify the cannabis experience for seniors.” “Through our relationship with the Sun Lakes communities, we saw an opportunity to bring together trusted products, personalized guidance, and technology that’s genuinely easy to use,” she said. “Residents shouldn’t have to sort through hundreds of products just to find what works for them. This curated approach helps remove that uncertainty while making cannabis more accessible to an entire community.” Meanwhile in Arizona, the Senate this session passed legislation that would have penalized people who create “excessive” amounts of marijuana smoke or odor—but it failed to be approved by the House of Representatives. — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

Sean Noble, president of the political strategy firm American Encore, told local media that while he launched the campaign due to concerns about marketing of cannabis to children, he has come to realize that marijuana businesses in Arizona have “not done some of the things that I thought they were doing.” “I went into it with a pretty profound belief that it was happening,” Noble said. “I was kind of relying on things that I had seen or read from other people.” “I don’t think that they’re specifically marketing gummies and candies and that kind of thing the way that I was led to believe that they were doing,” he said. “Maybe they’re doing that in other states. But it’s not happening here in Arizona.” A poll from 2024 found ongoing majority support from Arizona likely voters for medical cannabis legalization (86 percent), adult-use legalization (69 percent) and industry banking reform (78 percent).

  24. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is moving to develop new marijuana-related standards for pilots and air traffic controllers in light of the “operational risk” created by the Trump administration’s move to reschedule cannabis—which has furthered the “normalization” of the drug. FAA’s Office of Aerospace Medicine is partnering with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) to convene a series of meetings focused on the impact of marijuana consumption on air travel professionals, an effort aimed at informing approaches the agency might take to “evaluate, update, or refine their current policies for cannabis use, particularly for determining when individuals are fit for duty.” Topics to be discussed during the four planned meetings set to take place this year and next year—which will not be open to the public—include drug testing, cognitive functioning monitoring and the length of impairment following cannabis use. Invited participants will include experts on impairment evidence, pharmacokinetics and detectability, operational risk translation and policy framing. There is an “urgent need to establish clear, scientifically defensible, and operationally actionable fitness-for-duty standards for pilots and air traffic control specialists (ATCS) in the context of evolving federal cannabis policy,” NASEM said in a overview of the effort, which FAA is supporting with just over $200,000. Under an order issued by U.S. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche in April, marijuana products regulated by a state medical cannabis license immediately moved from Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) to Schedule III, as did any marijuana products that are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). An administrative hearing is considering broader marijuana rescheduling, including of recreational products. While Department of Transportation (DOT) drug testing and FAA medical certification standards remain unchanged for now, the notice of the upcoming meetings says that the “dual-status regulatory environment” under the scheduling reform has created a policy “misalignment” that poses “significant operational risk”—including by “increasing the likelihood and normalization of cannabis use,” “complicating disclosure and compliance” and “leaving the FAA without validated criteria to determine when individuals are no longer impaired.” “The central policy question is: Following cannabis use, what elapsed time ensures both (1) absence of operational impairment and (2) compliance with DOT drug testing requirements?” NASEM’s Transportation Research Board said in the posting which was noted earlier by Cannabis Wire. “Due to the urgency of near-term policy decisions and the inability to conduct new primary research in the required timeframe, the FAA requires structured, policy-relevant interpretation of existing scientific evidence,” the notice said, specifying that the meetings will take place over a span of about 12 months, which will enable FAA to develop and implement new cannabis policies within 12–18 months. NASEM previously did work on state marijuana legalization law’ impact on airports on behalf of FAA, publishing a briefing on the issue and holding an event. Meanwhile, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) recently clarified that its “policy on medical marijuana has not changed”—despite numerous news organizations running exaggerated headlines about a supposed change in the federal government’s policy on bringing marijuana into airports and on airplanes. DOT, which houses FAA, clarified in May that truck drivers, airline pilots and other federally regulated safety-sensitive workers still cannot use medical marijuana without being punished despite the federal rescheduling move. Last month, a coalition of transportation and safety organizations sent a letter to federal officials saying they have “serious safety concerns” surrounding the Trump administration’s move to federally reschedule marijuana— asking them to take steps to ensure that safety-sensitive workers will continue to be tested for cannabis. Earlier this month, the House Appropriations Committee adopted a provision directing federal officials to continue requiring government employees and safety-sensitive workers such as truck drivers and airline pilots to be drug tested for marijuana, “regardless of any future changes to the legal status or scheduling.” The followed a press conference organized by prohibitionist groups and a drug testing industry association where two Republican lawmakers joined their call for a “carve-out” to marijuana rescheduling by affirming that safety-sensitive transportation workers could still be penalized for testing positive for THC. The lawmakers and prohibitionist activists argued that moving marijuana to Schedule III would mean a 1986 executive order on the federal workforce that President Ronald Reagan signed defining illegal drugs as Schedule I and II drugs under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) would be effectively nullified when it comes to cannabis use by truck drivers, airline pilots and other workers regulated by DOT. Last October, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy suggested President Donald Trump was “getting pressure” to reschedule cannabis—arguing that marijuana is “really addictive” and saying that policy reform around the issue sends a “dangerous” message. “At a time when culture is pushing and celebrating the use of marijuana, we’re not talking about the risk,” Duffy said.

  26. The roots of marijuana plants might be commonly treated as waste, but a new scientific review suggests they may be an underutilized source of bioactive compounds with potential therapeutic applications similar to the flower they help nourish. Researchers at University of Santa Cruz Do Sul and Federal University of Rio Grande conducted the study by searching databases and analyzing results that contained references to cannabis roots through December 2024. The paper, published in the Journal of Cannabis Research, cites multiple examples of roots being linked to a “diverse spectrum of secondary metabolites, including phytosterols, alkaloids, terpenes, and phenolic compounds.” “Their rich content of secondary metabolites, including terpenes, phytosterols, phenolic compounds, alkaloids, and cannabinoids, positions the roots as a valuable source of pharmacologically active molecules with potential therapeutic applications.” “These bioactive constituents have been reported to exert antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activities,” the study authors wrote. “In vivo studies further demonstrate nociceptive and antispasmodic effects, with no evidence of cytotoxicity.” In other words, cannabis roots hold potential in the treatment of inflammation, pain, muscle spasms and more—similar to what’s been established in studies investigating the medical value of marijuana flower and oil extracts. “C. sativa roots represent an underexplored pharmacognostic resource with significant potential for the discovery of novel bioactive compounds,” the authors said. The scientific review didn’t involve independent testing of cannabis root composition or therapeutic use, but it said existing research demonstrates that their “chemical diversity and biological activities provide a strong rationale for renewed scientific attention, supporting future research into this underestimated part of a species of growing medical and economic relevance.” “This review contributes by integrating scattered evidence on the phytochemistry and pharmacological activities of C. sativa roots, providing a comprehensive overview rather than isolated discussions of extraction techniques or single therapeutic uses,” it continued. “C. sativa roots possess antioxidant, antiinflammatory, antinociceptive, and antispasmodic activities, as well as promising antibacterial and antifungal properties, with no reports of cytotoxicity or genotoxicity.” Future research into cannabis roots should “prioritize detailed phytochemical characterization, mechanistic pharmacological studies, and controlled in vivo and clinical evaluations,” the study concluded. “Ultimately, the roots of C. sativa represent a neglected pharmacognostic resource with considerable potential to contribute to drug discovery and the development of new therapeutic strategies.” While roots may be neglected as far as therapeutic applications are concerned, the historical and contemporary use of marijuana has involved non-flower components of the plant. A study published in 2023 determined that the cannabis plant appeared to have first been used for its fiber, as a material for ropes and other manufactured goods, for example. Use of hemp fiber dates back to approximately 10,000 years ago in ancient Mesopotamia and to roughly 6,000 and 5,000 years ago in China and Kazakhstan, respectively. In 2021, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) sponsored a project to develop hemp fiber insulation that’s designed to be better for the environment and public health than conventional preparations are. That same year, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that it was awarding a Washington State-based company a $100,000 grant to support the development of sustainable bricks made from industrial hemp. But as the plant continues to be studied for potential therapeutic uses, the new scientific review suggests it may be a worthwhile venture to look under the surface.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) telling Marijuana Moment that psilocybin is “one of the only substances that has shown early promise in treatment-resistant PTSD” and Rep. Lou Correa (D-CA) saying “everybody microdoses,” even “professional guys.” California Treasurer Fiona Ma (D) said the state’s current marijuana legalization law is a “complete failure” that was written “by big companies that wanted to take over the smaller farms” and should be replaced with a new ballot initiative that prioritizes consumers and small businesses. A new study conducted by the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment on covering medical cannabis through workers’ compensation found “clear, measurable reductions in pain alongside significant improvements in physical function, overall mobility, and quality of life”—as well as a reduction in opioid use. Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones (D) launched a new Regulated Products Enforcement Unit to oversee actions concerning THC and hemp products, kratom, liquid nicotine vapes and emerging intoxicants. New Texas Department of State Health Services restrictions on hemp THC products take effect on Friday following a series of court rulings that have alternatively halted and resumed sales of various cannabinoid items. / FEDERAL Former Rep.
