In court on Friday, Austin manufacturer Hometown Hero won a temporary injunction against the state's ban on THC isomers in court.            

 

Hemp companies, like Hometown Hero, as well as consumers, believed that under state and federal law they could make and consume any hemp-derived THC isomers, as long as they don't have more than 0.3% delta-9 THC. Delta-9 is the primary psychoactive ingredient in weed.                    

 

But last month, the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) added a statement to its website saying that all THC isomers in any concentration, including the popular delta-8 version of THC, were Schedule 1 controlled substances. (Isomers are chemical compounds that share a chemical formula but whose arrangement of atoms differ.)

 

Here's the latest on delta-8 and other THC isomers in Texas.
