Last week, EverythingLubbock.com asked the Lubbock County Criminal District Attorney if CBD oil is legal.  The DA responded late on Wednesday afternoon – saying that any CBD oil that contains THC is illegal. 

The Lubbock County District Attorney’s Office releases the following statement:

Is CBD oil legal in Texas? CBD oils on the market commonly contain THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). THC in any concentration is illegal under Texas law, pursuant to the Controlled Substances Act. This, however, is a quickly changing area of law. A bill is currently pending in the Texas Legislature that, if passed and enacted, would legalize possession of CBD oil if the amount of THC in the oil was 0.3 % or less, bringing Texas into compliance with the 2018 Federal Farm Bill.

Although our office has yet to receive any CBD oil cases for prosecution, we will continue to assess the law and facts presented when deciding whether prosecuting a particular defendant for a particular crime is in the best interest of justice.
