House Bill 2975, titled the Texas Regulation of Cannabis Act, would allow for the cultivation, processing, distribution, sale, and possession of marijuana and related products. The legislation establishes a licensing framework for marijuana businesses, including growers, processors, testing facilities, transporters, and dispensaries. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation would oversee the industry’s regulation and enforcement.
The bill would allow local governments to regulate marijuana businesses within their jurisdictions. It would place a possession limit of two ounces of dried marijuana flower and up to 15 grams of concentrates, with sakes taxed at 10%.Marijuana reform has gained increasing traction in Texas. According to a poll from the University of Houston’s Hobby School of Public Affairs that was released earlier this month, 62% of adults in the state support legalizing marijuana for everyone 21 and older.
