Why CBD Kratom Isn’t Worried About Texas THC Regulations–And Why Consumers Shouldn’t Be Either

The Texas hemp industry has been buzzing with anxiety in recent weeks. But brands like CBD Kratom aren’t losing sleep.

Why? Most companies operating in this space follow the usual path: Launch, then adapt to regulations. Instead of scrambling to change products and business practices, CBD Kratom has been doing it right from day one.

• Education-first philosophy
• Commitment to compliance
• Transparent approach to packaging
• Restricting ages on certain products
• Age Gating their website
• Clear labeling and dosage
• Easily accessible lab testing and results

This isn’t just about receiving products that are genuinely worthwhile. It’s about the choice, the freedom to have access to these products and helpful information about them. That’s where CBD Kratom steps up to the plate.

In June, Texas lawmakers passed Senate Bill 3 (SB3). The goal? To ban all hemp products, excluding CBD and CBG, but including CBN, CBC, and any other form of THC, including Delta-9 THC and even alternatives like Delta-8 THC.

It was a punch to the gut of a giant that generates billions in annual revenue. And don’t even get us started on the number of people employed in the hemp industry—roughly 50,000.

This ban would be absolutely devastating to small businesses, farmers, events, and even the average Joe who wants to purchase a federally legal product under the Farm Bill. Hemp provides a world of alternatives for managing life, including many anecdotes that hemp products, including THC, may help with chronic pain, anxiety, and sleep.

A downright prohibition would strip Texans of the natural remedies they deserve equal access to. Even recreational hemp users seeking an alternative high shouldn’t be prohibited from buying a legal and transparent product.

The latest SB3 Texas update for 2025 brings good news.

Governor Greg Abbott did his part in representing his constituents and vetoed Senate Bill 3 on June 22. Hemp advocates let out a well-deserved sigh of relief, but the fight isn’t over yet.

Although Abbott rejected the ban on hemp-derived THC products, he has called for a special session in the coming weeks that includes crafting a regulatory framework that protects consumers without making these products illegal in Texas.

It’s a lot better than the alternative. The original bill would have banned nearly all cannabinoids from hemp products and only allowed isolated CBD and CBG to stay legal. Some violations would have carried misdemeanor charges.

Is weed legal in Texas? Not quite.

Recreational marijuana is still very much illegal. But hemp-derived products containing less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC on a dry weight basis are federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill. Had Texas implemented SB 3, hemp products would be legal to ship nationwide except to states like Texas that have adopted laws to ban them.

Fortunately, that’s not the case.

Governor Abbott’s veto of SB3 means these products are still legal in Texas. However, with an upcoming special session in late July, future regulations might just change. So, how can you stay safe?
