Texas Weed War: Voters Say YES While Regulators Move to Ban THCA

Cannabis Legalization News (Mar 8, 2026): Texas Hemp Crackdown, SCOTUS & 2A, Missouri Rules, Michigan Drama

The hosts deliver a casual, no-prep cannabis legalization news roundup dated March 8, 2026, focusing on Texas moving to shut down much of the intoxicating hemp market (with rules nearing publication, limiting THCA flower and vapes), and discuss a Supreme Court case where several justices appeared skeptical of a law barring cannabis users from firearm possession due to a lack of evidence of “dangerousness.” They also cover Kansas Democrats pushing legalization but being blocked by GOP leadership, Nebraska tribe efforts to advance medical cannabis despite state pushback, Missouri’s proposed rules targeting bad actors and ownership misconduct, Michigan’s cannabis tax distributions and a city controversy involving companies paying legal bills, Virginia Tech research on cannabis and driving, Oregon’s failed bill to cap edibles over 10mg THC, Afroman’s lawsuit story, and Michigan guidance on restricted terms like “dispensary.”
