The law charged Miller's office with licensing businesses that grow, handle, sample or process hemp in Texas. He said that there were more than 850 such businesses currently operating in the state. "If you de-criminalize, without legalizing and regulating, what do you get? An unregulated market" Hays said."You get Oklahoma. That's not a good idea."
The law was expanded in 2019, and in 2021, lawmakers passed a bill that allowed doctors to prescribe low-THC cannabis products to people diagnosed with cancer, epilepsy, post-traumatic stress disorder or other ailments.
