Video update from Lukas Gilkey:
UPDATE: Delta-8 Status in Texas October 21st 2021
Hometown Hero CBD files the temporary restraining order with the court and receives a case number. The court grants the state the ability to respond.
Lukas Gilkey, CEO of Hometown Hero CBD, releases a statement on YouTube regarding the recent update to DSHS’ website. In his statement, Lukas discusses what this update on DSHS’ website means for the industry and Hometown Hero’s plans to file a temporary restraining order and lawsuit against the state of Texas and DSHS.
Lukas Gilkey's statement
The Texas Department of State Health Services updated their Consumable Hemp Products - Frequently Asked Questions page to include a section stating that Delta-8 THC was not legal in the state of Texas.
The section reads:
Can consumable hemp products in Texas contain Delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)?
No. Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 443 (HSC 443), established by House Bill 1325 (86th Legislature), allows Consumable Hemp Products in Texas that do not exceed 0.3% Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). All other forms of THC, including Delta-8 in any concentration and Delta-9 exceeding 0.3%, are considered Schedule I controlled substances. A list of Schedule I controlled substances can be found at the following link: Schedule I Controlled Substances.
Complaints regarding controlled substances should be referred to law enforcement. DSHS has no regulatory authority over controlled substances.
After this change was published, Hometown Hero CBD immediately started work on putting together a temporary restraining order against the state of Texas and DSHS, as well as working on a lawsuit.
Hometown Hero CBD and the Texas Hemp Federation join forces with Bayou City Hemp.
2024, Hometown Hero
