San Angelo, TX, November 10, 2026 — Texas is considering a significant shift in its cannabis policy as lawmakers have introduced new legislation aimed at legalizing and regulating adult-use marijuana. Two specific bills, identified as House Bills 369 and House Bill 362, have been filed, proposing a framework for a legal cannabis market within the state.
Under the proposed measures, adults aged 21 and older would be permitted to possess a certain amount of cannabis. The legislation outlines a possession limit of up to 2 ounces for individuals meeting the age requirement. Furthermore, the bills suggest allowing home cultivation, with provisions for individuals to grow up to 12 cannabis plants at their residence.
In addition to personal possession and cultivation, the proposed bills aim to establish a comprehensive system for the retail sale of cannabis. The specifics of this regulatory framework for retail operations were not detailed in the summary provided.
The legislative proposals also address the classification of hemp. Within the scope of these bills, hemp is explicitly included in the definition of cannabis, indicating a broader approach to regulating plant-derived psychoactive substances.
The introduction of these bills signifies a potential move towards broader cannabis legalization in Texas, aligning with trends observed in other states. The legislative process will determine the future of these proposals.
