This is law as of Friday. Texas will tell you it is the freest state in the country right up until it puts you in a cage for a gummy. Unfortunately, none of this is new. The felony machine delta-8 just got dropped into was already running. Texas has always split the plant from everything made out of it. Flower sits in its own statute and carries a Class B misdemeanor. Concentrate sits in Penalty Group 2 alongside amphetamines and MDMA, where a single gram is a state jail felony. The state also measures by total product weight, not by how much THC is actually in it. A gummy is mostly sugar and gelatin. Under Texas law the sugar counts against you. In 2014 Williamson County charged a 19 year old in Round Rock with a first degree felony over a tray of brownies by putting the flour and the butter on the scale with the hash oil. Five to life for baked goods. That is what delta-8 and THCP entered on Friday. Legal Thursday. Sold over a counter, in a licensed shop, with sales tax collected by the same state that now calls it Schedule I. There is no victim here. There has never been a victim here. Just Texans in cages over a molecule, and the men who wrote this pouring themselves a drink tonight.
