Overview
In Amarillo, Texas, United States, the legality of cannabis is quite clear. Medical cannabis is legal for patients with intractable epilepsy under the Texas Compassionate Use Act. However, the use of recreational cannabis is strictly prohibited and is considered a criminal offense. The state has some of the harshest marijuana laws in the United States, with possession of small amounts being a misdemeanor punishable by fines and jail time.
When it comes to related substances such as Delta 8, Delta 9, THCA, and CBD, the laws are a bit more complex. Delta 8, once considered legal in the state is now currently going through a lawsuit to decide if it will still be a legal substance. Delta 9 is a form of THC and is therefore regulated under the same laws as cannabis. THCA, or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, is a precursor to THC and is also regulated. CBD, or cannabidiol, is legal in Texas as long as it contains less than 0.3% THC. It's widely available and can be found in various forms such as oils, edibles, and topicals.
