On Thursday, June 5, the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office and Edna Police, warrant in hand, searched local smoke shop Blizzy n Blend, confiscating multiple machines they say are used for illegal gambling, as well as what they say are illegal THC products.
In Texas, following a 2019 law, some cannabis products are legal, provided they contain THC levels of .3 percent or less. However, the legislature recently voted to ban all hemp products for recreational use. If signed by Governor Abbott, that law reversing the 2019 decision would take effect in September 2025.
In a Facebook post, JCSO stated that having received what they called “credible information” regarding the sale of THC vapes to minors and illegal gambling machines, typically called 8-liner machines, and that the products confiscated contained “illegal levels of THC.”
