After a years-long legal battle, the Texas Supreme Court has cleared the way for the state health department to classify Delta-8, a naturally derived compound from hemp, as a Schedule One controlled substance. Business owners like Jennifer Garza are watching their inventory vanish, facing closures as the state moves to eliminate these products entirely by July 31st. She’s also raising a critical point: hemp-derived Delta-8 is not the same as synthetic versions, yet they’re being treated identically under new rules. With lawmakers still debating a full ban, the future of hemp products in Texas hangs in the balance—while businesses fight to keep serving their customers.
