二〇二六年四月二十三日，崔維斯郡地方法院法官召開了一場備受矚目的聽證會，以決定關於重塑市場的爭議性州規章之命運。
On April 23, 2026, a Travis County District Court judge held a high-profile hearing to decide the fate of controversial state regulations that could reshape the market.
這些由德州衛生服務部推出的規則，旨在落實「總四氫大麻酚(Total THC)」標準。
These rules, introduced by the Texas Department of State Health Services, aim to implement a <value value="Total THC">"Total THC"</value> standard.
此項測量包含THCA，實質上禁止了大多數可吸食的大麻花與預捲菸。

此外，該規定還大幅調漲費用，將製造成本從每間設施二百五十美元調高至一萬美元。
Additionally, the regulations impose significant fee hikes, raising manufacturing costs from $250 to $10,000 per facility.
相反地，州政府官員則堅持這些措施是為了「公共安全」，以預防成癮性產品的銷售。

With a federal standard looming in November 2026, the immediate outcome of this hearing will determine whether retailers can keep their shelves stocked or if many small businesses will be forced to close.
