Texas has not legalized recreational marijuana. So what does this mean for vape pens containing THC, the psychoactive compound in cannabis?

This includes vape pens, edibles, oils, or other recreational marijuana products purchased out-of-state in places where cannabis is legal. Having them in your possession risks criminal…
A controversial new law came into effect this week placing stringent restrictions on how vape stores across Texas market and advertise products in-store. Designed to discourage underage vaping, House Bill 7458 bans vape retailers from using imagery likely to appeal to minors like cartoons, celebrities or food items. Shops found violating the regulations face up to 6 months jail time or $2000 fines. For many vape store owners already adhering to 21+ age verification policies, the blanket marketing ban feels excessive and unnecessarily damaging. Employees now face the hassle and cost of removing or heavily discounting compliant stock featuring previously…
The UK government is expected to announce a 25% tax on vaping products when it unveils the nation’s budget on March 6th. This would mark the first time vapes are taxed in the UK. Tax Intended to Deter Youth Vaping The tax proposal aims to dissuade underage vaping, while also generating revenue to balance the budget.

E-cigarettes have played a pivotal role in reducing England’s smoking rate to an all-time low of 13%. Many fear a vape tax runs contrary to the government’s stated…
