Overview
In Denton, TX, US, the legality of cannabis is a complex issue. Medical cannabis is not legal in Texas, with the exception of low-THC cannabis for patients with intractable epilepsy. Recreational use of cannabis is also illegal in Texas. Penalties for possession of cannabis can range from a misdemeanor to a felony, depending on the amount possessed.
Related substances such as Delta 8, Delta 9, THCA, and CBD have different legal statuses. Delta 8 is currently legal in Texas. In 2019, Gov. Greg Abbott signed House Bill 1325 into law. The law allows the production, manufacture, retail sale, and inspection of industrial hemp crops and products in Texas granted that they stay at 0.3% or less delta-9 THC level. THCA, the acid form of THC, is illegal. However, CBD is legal in Texas, provided it is derived from hemp and contains less than 0.3% THC.
