Overview
In Houston, Texas, United States, the legality of cannabis is a complex issue. Medical cannabis is legal for patients with intractable epilepsy under the Texas Compassionate Use Act, but the law is considered one of the most restrictive in the nation. Recreational use of cannabis, on the other hand, remains illegal. Possession of up to two ounces of cannabis can result in a jail sentence of up to 180 days and a fine of up to $2,000.
When it comes to related substances such as Delta 8, Delta 9, THCA, and CBD, the laws are slightly different. Delta 8 and Delta 9 are both forms of THC, the main psychoactive compound in cannabis. While Delta 9 is illegal under federal law, it is legal in Texas in small doses. Delta 8 exists in a gray area and is legal in Texas . THCA, a non-psychoactive precursor to THC, is also legal. CBD, or cannabidiol, is legal in Texas as long as it contains less than 0.3% THC.
