Texas SB 2024 Vape Ban: What It Means for Hemp & THCA Vapes in 2025

Texas SB 2024: A Quiet But Sweeping Vape Ban You Need to Know About

In June 2025, Governor Abbott signed Senate Bill 2024 (SB 2024) into law. It’s a game-changer—or game-ender—for hemp-based vape products in Texas.

Here’s what’s on the chopping block:

• Disposable THC or cannabinoid vapes—like THCA cartridges—are outright banned.

• Products with packaging aimed at kids—cartoons, celebrity faces, toys, or disguised as everyday items—are now prohibited.

• The law also targets vapes containing kratom, mushrooms, alcohol, or cannabis derivatives.

• Products or e-liquids manufactured in or marketed from countries like China, or other U.S.-designated “adversaries”, will be banned unless filled with U.S.-made liquids.

Key dates and penalties:

• The law takes effect September 1, 2025.

• Violating SB 2024 is now a Class A misdemeanor, with fines up to $4,000 per offense.

What Is Still Legal (and How to Pivot)

Local businesses and consumers should note what remains untouched:

• Refillable vape systems (especially with U.S.-filled e-liquids) are still legal.

• Non-inhalable hemp products — like THCA flower, gummies, tinctures, and topicals — remain fully compliant.

What This Means for Texans

Retailers & Dispensaries:

• You’ll need to shift away from disposable cannabinoid vapes or stock only compliant refillables.

• This is an opportunity to lead with demand-safe, transparent, and regulated hemp products.

Consumers:

• If you're using THCA vapes now, March your stash carefully.

• Legal alternatives that deliver the experience without the legal risk are still out there—think edibles, flower, and compliant concentrates.

Compliance is key—and so is staying informed.
