“I will be Fentanyl Priority Before Hemp, and all dollars that test drugs is a dollar that I don’t try a sexual attack kit.”

Stephen Simpson, Texas Tribune

As a legislative Texas disputeEE Whether thc products are regulated or banned, state crime laboratory officials say that resources do not exceed the law.

“Compassionate crime, we don’t have a dog in that struggle. I don’t care what I need to test, and then I need the result so I can give this result” Peter StoutThe President of the Houston Forensic Science Center and Director General, Texas Tribune said after Texas Tribune after testifying the House on the Public Health Commission on Wednesday. “Otherwise, I become the reason why the wheel falls from this wagon, basically been the last six years now.”

Focused on the Audience of the Wednesday Commission House 5. BillCannabidiola and other non-cannabinoids that would create a ban on products that are non-cannabinoids, CBD and CBG, known as cannabis components. This invoice would delete most hemp products, including legal under the federal definition.

“There have been many new and synthetic cannabinoids and consumer effects, and these products have been easily available,” Rep. Gary VankaverR-Boston New Boston, Committee chair and HB 5 author. “Some of these products are marketed in a way attractive for children, such as ordinary food products, like sweets.”

The version of the Senate invoice also requires a ban, but Gov. Greg Abbott this year, this year, this year, he observed similar legislation that would prohibit thc, signaled that some legislators support more regulations through a ban.

Kim Carmichael, Spokesperson for Homemade Spokespersons Dustin BurrowsR-Lubbock said Texas Tribune did not ban the house.

“HB 5 submitted as a regular invoice for those who passed the house in the usual session, as well as the logical starting point for negotiations,” Carmichael said. “Since the passage of this form, members believed they thought they should start the debate again. It would still be heard in the process of public hearing and the flooring, so it is not known at the moment.”

On Wednesday legislators invited experts about Thc’s health risks, which emphasize the industry is impossible for network crimes and enforcement task.

Alice AmmilhatThe main collaborating member of the Crime Labidatory Sefidings Sefiding told the law that DPS Crime Lab is equalized with demands, and whatever legislators decide, it will be an expensive process.

“I don’t have financial statements, but if the ban is passed, the testing process will be easier, but the problem we don’t know if it will also increase the case,” he said. “We don’t know how many cases they will be included, we don’t know how much confiscation, we don’t know that the enforcement of the law needs our help.”

Texas crime laboratories found in any situation that can be regulated by THC. If the ban is passed, the tests will be quite simple, because all crime laboratories should determine if there is substance, but it still means more cases. It is not forbidden, rather than THC regulations can drive up its caselodes and the process of testing can be more expensive and time consumed, if necessary, per substances should be perceived in the permit. Two scenarios are not unbearable for crime laboratories, who fight dead drugs, with the resources currently.

“There are only 266 drug chemicals in the state,” said law managers. “I pay attention to Fentanyl, and you guess (THC) (THC), then I will invest in testing equipment and other things.”

Throughout the Stout of the Stout Criminal laboratories have retreated in cases where hundreds of thousand depth reaches, and compared to sexual assault and firearms, Thc will test the lesser.

“I had the voice that I don’t have investments in Houston at the scale we probably need, because I can’t keep fentanyl with pills,” said the tribune. “So I will be Fentanyl priority before hemp, and testing drugs every dollar I spend a dollar is a dollar that I don’t try a sexual attack kit.”

DPS Half of the Court Work carried out in the state and the rest of the municipal, regional or regional laboratories are managed. Each has a source of funding that can be inconsistent, but not enough, according to crime laboratories.

Stout said the average crime laboratory of the country obtains about $ 600 in financing for each case, as laboratories require $ 2,500 per person to cover employees, time and equipment. He said, beyond the money problem, the time consuming the nature of training is concern, and there is no license for drug chemists waiting for work.

“We have resources under the Court Laboratory so long, there is no pipeline or workplace,” he said. “People are not there, and there is no money.”

A Continuous challenges It has been cases of resolving years in crime laboratories. Crime laboratories do not have work load control, any substance or case enforcement decides to focus on crime laboratories, whether they are ready.

“Okay, boy, you need me to respond to that sex attack kit and that homicide, which you want to do first?” Stout said. “Because we can’t do it all. Help me here.”

Stout said crime laboratories need more money and time.

“And that’s what this isn’t wrong, that no one wants to hear. They want to give us a big money and go to other things, but it doesn’t work like that, he said.
