Quick Answer (TL;DR)

You can legally buy hemp-derived THC products in Texas so long as they meet the federal definition of hemp: cannabis containing no more than 0.3% Δ-9 THC by dry weight at the time of testing. Because raw flower and many concentrates are naturally high in THCA (the non-psychoactive acidic precursor), they can test compliant as “hemp” before use—even though decarboxylation (heat) turns THCA into Δ-9 THC during consumption.

How Texas Hemp Law Works (Plain English)

Hemp vs. Marijuana is a lab number, not a plant type.

Under the 2018 U.S. Farm Bill (adopted by Texas), “hemp” is any cannabis plant or derivative that contains no more than 0.3% Δ-9 THC by dry weight. Both hemp and marijuana are the same species (Cannabis sativa L.), but the legal line is the amount of Δ-9 THC measured in a certified laboratory at a specific point in time.

Why THCA matters

Most raw flower naturally carries cannabinoids in their “acidic” form. THCA is the non-psychoactive acid that becomes Δ-9 THC when heated (smoked, vaped, or baked). Because compliance is based on Δ-9 THC content—not THCA—many premium flower batches can test under 0.3% Δ-9 and therefore qualify as legal hemp at purchase, while still delivering the expected effects when consumed.

Decarboxylation: the conversion step

Decarboxylation is the simple chemical reaction where heat removes a carboxyl group from THCA, converting it into Δ-9 THC. It’s why a compliant flower can feel like traditional cannabis once used. What matters for compliance is the lab result at the time of sale, shown on a COA (Certificate of Analysis).

The compliance checklist (what you should look for)

• COA from an ISO-accredited lab showing ≤ 0.3% Δ-9 THC (dry weight).
• Batch/lot number on the COA matches the product package.
• Harvest date and test date are recent and legible.
• Full cannabinoid panel + contamination screens (pesticides, heavy metals, residual solvents where applicable).

How to Read a COA (Certificate of Analysis)

A COA is your proof that the product in your cart is legitimate and compliant. Here’s a quick checklist you can use for any brand—ours included:

1. Match the batch. The COA batch/lot number should match the number on the product box or label.
2. Potency line items. Look for Δ-9 THC, THCA, and Total Cannabinoids. Compliance is about Δ-9 THC ≤ 0.3% by dry weight.
3. Date + lab. Confirm the test date is recent and the lab is ISO-accredited.
4. Contaminants. For concentrates and vapes, scan for residual solvent results. For flower, check pesticide, heavy metal, and microbe screens.
5. QR code. We place scannable COA links directly on packages for fast verification.
