The Alabama House of Representatives moved quickly Thursday to pass a bill for state regulation and new restrictions on the sales of gummies, drinks, and other consumable products containing certain chemicals derived from hemp.

Hundreds gathered at the Texas Capitol on Monday to oppose a bill they argue is being misleadingly framed as a push against Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick's effort to ban THC. In reality, the bill seeks to prohibit all consumable hemp products, with the exception of drinks.

High school student Dabney Ferris, at podium, joined N.C. House lawmakers at a news conference promoting a bill regulating THC products. Ferris says she became addicted to THC because stores sold her the products when she was just 15.
