Following ban, Texas hemp reps sue state for violating commerce protections

Texas hemp industry representatives have filed a lawsuit against the state, arguing that the ban on hemp-derived THC products infringes on constitutional protections for interstate commerce. This move comes amid growing tensions between federal and state laws, as hemp is legal federally but faces restrictions in Texas. The lawsuit highlights the broader conflict over how states can regulate products that fall under federal oversight, raising questions about the balance of power between state and federal authorities in the cannabis industry.
