You Are Committing a Felony: Cannabis Oils in Texas

Cannabis oils in Texas

Cannabis oils are illegal in Texas. In fact, you are committing a felony and don’t even know it.

Maybe it’s for a bachelor party.

Maybe it’s for a business trip.

Maybe you are looking to escape the Texas heat.

Whatever the reason, you have just touched down at Denver International Airport and you are determined to emphasize the “High” in “Mile-High.”

Just make sure what happens in Colorado, stays in Colorado.

You be surprised how many vape pens, cannabis oil cartridges, and edibles find their way into visitors golf bags, ski bags and luggage. While legal in Colorado, the cannabinoid oil that fuels the vaporless pen is a felony in Texas. The paraphernalia itself is a misdemeanor.

What is Cannabis Oil?

Cannabis oil (also known as: marijuana oil, hash oil or wax) is a thick, sticky, resinous substance made up of cannabinoids, such as THC and CBD. It is obtained by separating the resins from cannabis flowers using a solvent extraction process. Cannabis oil is not only the most concentrated form of cannabis, but also the most potent. In other words, it does the job and can be found at any dispensary in Colorado.

What is the Punishment Range for Possession of Cannabis Oil in Texas?

This marijuana derivative is a controlled substance in Texas, falling into penalty group 2. For example, possess less than a gram and face up to two years in a state jail facility and up to a $10,000 fine. Possess more than one gram and face the possibility of a third-degree felony, up to ten years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine.
