Texas Defends Total-THC Testing Rules in THCA Hemp Appeal

Texas told an appeals court that regulators may calculate total delta-9 THC by accounting for THCA conversion when testing finished hemp products, while industry plaintiffs argue the agencies exceeded the statutory 0.3% delta-9 standard. The neighboring-state case matters to Oklahoma hemp and cannabis businesses because it tests whether agencies can use testing methodology to narrow THCA product legality without a new legislative limit.
