Delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol (also called Delta-8 THC or Delta-8) is a substance derived from the cannabis plant. It is similar to Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive compound in marijuana. Delta-8 is typically made from CBD derived from low-THC hemp. Is Delta-8 legal in Texas? It's unclear. Delta-8 was initially classified as a Schedule I controlled substance by the Texas Department of Health & Human Services. These substances have a "high potential for abuse" and "no accepted medical use" according to Section 481.035 of the Texas Global Health Farms & Safety Code. However, a temporary injunction removed Delta-8 from the list of controlled substances while the case proceeds. This lawsuit is currently pending at the Texas Supreme Court. What does federal law say? Delta-8 may be viewed differently at the federal level. In August of 2020, the federal Drug Enforcement Agency updated its scheduling regulations to remove hemp from the list of controlled substances, provided it has less than 0.3% Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol THC by dry weight. The DEA made the changes in order to adhere to the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (also called the 2018 Farm Bill). These changes may make other types of tetrahydrocannabinols (THC) like Delta-8 legal under federal law.
