Texas Senate Bill 3 (SB 3) has sparked concern, conversation, and confusion across the state. If passed, it could significantly alter how Texans access and use hemp-derived wellness products, including CBD and federally legal THC options like Delta-8. In this blog, we’re breaking down how SB 3 could reshape access to hemp, CBD, and THC products in Texas, and what you need to know to protect your wellness choices.
What Is SB 3 Trying to Change?
SB 3 is a proposed bill in the Texas Legislature that seeks to redefine hemp-derived cannabinoids and regulate them more strictly. This includes potential restrictions or outright bans on:
- Delta-8 THC and similar THC isomers
- Full-spectrum CBD oils that contain trace levels of Delta-9 THC (under 0.3%)
- Future cannabinoids not explicitly approved by the state
While framed as a public safety measure, critics argue that SB 3 may limit access to legal, therapeutic plant compounds that thousands of Texans rely on every day.

How SB 3 Could Impact the CBD and THC Market
If passed, SB 3 may:
- Ban Delta-8 products, including gummies and tinctures
- Redefine full-spectrum CBD as a controlled substance
- Confuse consumers who depend on clean, compliant products for sleep, anxiety, or pain
- Hurt local businesses who follow current federal and state law
What makes this especially concerning is that many of the affected products are lab-tested, legally compliant, and safely used by thousands—including veterans, parents, seniors, and those with chronic pain.
What Is Still Legal in Texas Right Now?
As of today, hemp-derived products that contain less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC are still legal in Texas. This includes:
