Ma*****na Prosecution as Urged by the Texas Governor and Attorney General

Some have expressed concern that H.B. 1325 carved out h**p from the definition of a controlled substance, and defined h**p as having .3% or less THC concentration. H.B. 1325, §§ 1, 8, 86th Leg., R.S. (2019). Adopting this federal definition of h**p did not limit the prosecutorial options for prosecuting ma*****na cases. Criminal cases may be prosecuted with lab tests or with the tried and true use of circumstantial evidence, a point some of you have already made clear in this context.5 Even before the passage of H.B. 1325, companies and labs were already developing THC concentration tests. As more companies enter the testing marketplace, the costs of the tests will certainly decline, and you may weigh which prosecution method is appropriate. In short, lab tests are not always needed, and they are not as costly as some initial reporting indicated.

H**p v. Ma*****na

HB 1325 Adopted the Federal Framework

The Legislature adopted the .3% THC federal standard for distinguishing regulated h**p from prohibited ma*****na and set h**p policy for Texas. TEX. AGRIC. CODE § 121.001.

H. B. 1325 requires the Texas Department of Agriculture to regulate h**p through a state plan approved by the federal government. Id. § 121.003.

7 U.S.C. § 1639p(a)(1) differentiates h**p from ma*****na by setting a tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) threshold concentration of .3% or above is prohibited(ma*****na).

The Farm Bill removes lawfully produced h**p-derived products from a Schedule I status under the Controlled Substances Act. Pub. L. No. 115-661, § 12619 (codified at 21 U.S.C. §§ 802(16), 812(c)).

Penalties Regarding Transportation of Unapproved H**p

Failure to have the required certificate is a misdemeanor and also subjects the person to a civil penalty of up to $500 per violation, collectible by the attorney general or any district or county attorney.3 Id. §§ 122.359, 122.360.
Currently, there is no state- approved h**p plan and thus no approved certificate for transportation.

Employee theft is a crime. Especially if you steal over 800 pounds of fajitas in one day.

I give this web address to all my DWLI clients. Sad to say it may take an hour or two to get a human on the other side for help. Lately I've called and was told there was no one there to help and to call back later. This is worst than TexTag!
