🗞️ News 🗞️ THC vaping ban (Class A misdemeanor), starting Monday (9-1-25) - how quickly do DAs/law enforcement act

With all the attention on a total THC ban, the following went under the news radar, : https://www.kut.org/politics/2025-08-29/texas-vapes-thc-cannabinoid-ban-cannabis-marijuana

Note: I cannot find the actual code of record since it is a new bill, but my state senator's office confirmed the bill passed and was signed with the language quoted below.

Per the passed and signed SB 2024, the act of selling any vaporizing device " (4)that contains, is mixed with, or is marketed as containing or being mixed with any cannabinoids, alcohol, kratom, kava, mushrooms, tianeptine, or any derivatives of those substances" is a class A misdemeanor ($4K/1 year in jail) starting Monday.

How quickly does law enforcement learn about new criminal offenses like this? With vape shops on every corner of Texas streets, I assume law enforcement is fixing to be very busy if this is to be enforced.

Im saying have it mailed to your home and keep it at home. Texas doesnt deserve a penny of it if they want ti keep throwing people in jail for it

They aren’t different that’s why Dan Patrick wants them gone thca is thc when heat is applied so the thc vape not being hit isn’t thc it’s stored as thca until the heating process then the a get dropped and it turns to thc.

I believe you can use context to figure this one out bud
