Texas cannabis shops face crisis as new rules cap THC at 0.3%, effectively banning smokeable products. Owners like Estella Castro at Austinite Cannabis Company are slashing prices up to 50% to clear inventory before the changes take effect. The rules, pushed by Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick and implemented by Governor Greg Abbott, are hitting hemp flower and vapes hardest. Castro fears job losses and a potential shutdown, as the industry supports 53,000 jobs across the state. Backers of the rules claim its about protecting kids, but owners are struggling to adapt to the new regulations.
