Senate Bill 3, authored by Sen. Charles Perry, bans Delta 8, Delta 9, and all other forms of intoxicating THC, including beverages. It also prohibits the retail sale of any cannabinoid in the state, with the exception of CBD and CBG. Patrick said the bill does not affect Texas' Compassionate Use Program.

The bill, which would improve grid reliability among other things, readies the state to support more data centers and AI infrastructure.

Patrick says the measure will shut down the dangerous THC products business. The House’s proposal would tighten oversight of the industry without a full ban.
