In case anyone were wondering: delta 8/9 THC were/are de facto decriminalized in TX because of the exception that substances originating from hemp are okay while ordinary marijuana plants are still illegal. It's inconsistent and silly. In practice, ordinary marijuana has entered gray market status as it is sometimes for sale in Houston, Austin, and San Antonio in some small shops. The war on drugs continues because there's police and prison money and status gained by maintaining the status quo.
