Cannabis in Texas (Wikipedia)

Cannabis in Texas is illegal for recreational use. Possession of up to two ounces is a class B misdemeanor, punishable by up to 180 days in prison and a fine of up to $2000. In May 2025, the Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 3, a law banning the sale and possession of hemp-derived products containing any amount of THC, effectively criminalizing much of the state’s legal hemp industry starting September 1. As of June 22, Governor Greg Abbott has decided to veto the bill, calling for regulation instead of a full prohibition. A special session will be held on July 21 to discuss the matter.

Medical use is allowed only in the form of low-THC cannabis oil, less than 1% THC with a doctor's approval and less than 0.3% THC without. Legislation allowing for medical use was first approved in 2015.

Prior to 1973, Texas had the harshest cannabis laws of any state in the nation, with possession of any amount classified as a felony offense punishable by two years to life in prison. Possession was banned statewide in 1931.
