THC vape pens have become increasingly popular, but many Texans are unaware that most THC vape products remain illegal under Texas law. Confusion over hemp-derived products and changing regulations has led to arrests across San Antonio and South Texas.
Marijuana THC Vape Pens Are Illegal
Vape cartridges containing THC derived from marijuana are considered a controlled substance in Texas. Possession can result in criminal charges ranging from misdemeanors to felonies depending on the amount and concentration.
Hemp-Derived THC Products Fall Into a Gray Area
Texas allows hemp products containing less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC. However, vape cartridges and concentrated forms of THC are often treated more seriously under Texas law. Many people assume products purchased legally from stores are fully legal, but that is not always the case.
Law Enforcement Is Increasing Enforcement
Police across Texas, including San Antonio, New Braunfels, and surrounding Hill Country areas are continuing to enforce drug possession laws involving vape cartridges. Laboratory testing often determines whether charges are filed.
What To Do If You Are Arrested
Drug possession charges can affect your job, driver’s license, and future opportunities. If you are arrested, exercise your right to remain silent and contact an experienced criminal defense attorney immediately.
