Texas Senators Unanimously Pass Hemp THC Ban Bill Hours After Governor Convenes Second Special Session

Published

The Governor of Texas has again called a special session again by lawmakers directing legislation in advance, regulating consumer hemp and setting the age limit to access cannabinoids. After a few hours, a Senate committee quickly and unanimously accepted the reinterrodial invoice, HEMP thc products to call the government’s Gover’s GOB Abbott (R).

After the legislators of democratic houses Abbott made a ride on the first special call session-Bameum is a quorum of the State Congress map protesting the protest of the redistribution plan. The session cannot last more than 30 days under the state constitution, but no limit is called how it can be called.

On the same day, Abbott named a new session, the Senate State Committee quickly exceeded the reinvented hemp invoice Charles Perry (r) from the husband 9-0 votes.

Legislation would continue to distribute cannabis products to the CBD and CBG cannabinoids “Any amount”. In addition to owning a banned cannabis element, it would be punished as a class of class B, 180 days in prison and a fine of $ 2,000.

The final proclamation of the governor also has renewed the call of legislation “Becoming a crime to children derived from hemp to children under 21”

While setting the invoice of Perry moved through the Commission, he said in his latest proclamation because he wanted to see a measurement that would normally regulate the “harmful products, including limiting compounds, without blessing the compounds of synthetically derived, all harmful products.”

Heather Fazio at the Texas Cannabis Policy Center, the director of Texas, is disappointed by the group “that he is disappointed” is not discontinued by the Senate.

“This is another strange prohibition in Thc products,” he said. “Most Texanes agree with the governor Abbott: Texas legislature should be regulated, not banned products.”

The initial version of the governor demand The second special session said the cannabinoid product must be an age-gated age to ban access to under 18 years, but it was immediately revised and relented on reasons for non-existing reasons.

The proclamation of the new session also determines that the regulations do not ban “legal hemp products” because the proclamation of the first session refers to the “legal agricultural goods”.

Hemp advocates and industry actors say that the state market effectively eliminated, there are few businesses that manufacture CBD or CBG isolated products that do not have traces with THC or other cannabinoids. The federal law allows products to 0.3 percent of 0.3 percent through dry weight.

An invoice similar to Perry passed the Senate in the first special session, but did not continue at home.

The other new invoice He presented the second special session of the Republic. Charlie Geren (R) governor’s directive would follow, so that harmful hemp products can only be purchased for 21 and over.

Before the end of the first special session, the House Public Health Committee He took advantage of the bill for banning street consumer products Having THC, without taking action.

Abbott observed a previous version of the controversial proposal It was passed through this regular session, and he recently passed what he wanted to see a revised version of the invoice.

Some, including Dan Patrick (r) and Senate protection Perry, have emphasized public security since the legalized federal reproduction. Others, legislatures prevent access to market and maintain massive industry and maintain massive industry and maintain mass industry and maintain massive industry and maintain massive industry and maintain mass industry and maintain massive industry.

Bipartisan Majority Of American Voters Support Marijuana Legalization, New Poll Finds After Trump Orders Rescheduling

A two-fold majority of American voters across nearly every major demographic — age, race, gender and political affiliation — support legalizing marijuana, according to a new poll released just days ago. President Donald Trump issued an executive order to agencies to further reform cannabis rescheduling..

The poll, conducted by JL Partners and commissioned by The Daily Mail, showed that 53 percent of registered US voters support legalization. This includes 62% of Democrats and 51% of Republicans.

The poll simply asked, “Would you be for or against the legalization of marijuana?”

While there was majority support among all age demographics, 30-49 year olds had 61 percent support. But even 50 percent of the over-65s, historically the most conservative age group, favor policy change.

58% of men are in favor of legalization, and 50% of women are in favor of reform.

The survey Between December 20 and 21, there were interviews with 1,000 registered voters. This means that Trump has asked the attorney general to declare marijuana under Title III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).

The move would not have federally legalized cannabis, and administration officials stressed at the signing ceremony of the reorganization order that legalization was not their intention.

However, what the reorganization would do is symbolically recognize marijuana’s medical value, allow cannabis companies to take federal tax deductions, and loosen some research barriers related to Schedule I drugs.

A recent Daily Mail poll comes with growing bipartisanship over legalizing marijuana in general, but Another recent YouGov poll found Republicans evenly split on the issue41% in favor and 41% against the wider reform.

However, a bipartisan majority of Americans said in that poll that they support federally rescheduling marijuana.

Additionally, a majority (76%) of respondents to the YouGov survey also said marijuana either “definitely” (43%) or “probably” (33%) has “legitimate medical uses.” There was also a bilateral agreement on that question. Most Democrats said cannabis has medical value (84%), followed by independents (74%) and Republicans (73%).

The reorganization process started by the Biden administration, which Trump has now called for an end, is still pending. Congressional researchers also recently released a report indicating that there is a possibility The Justice Department may choose to restart the process, or even not complete it. But according to previous polls, reform across the corridor is politically popular.

The president said this month that cannabis can “make people feel a lot better.” It serves as a “substitute for addictive and potentially deadly opioid painkillers.” He clarified, however, that he personally has no interest in using marijuana himself.

So does Trump He dismissed the concerns of GOP lawmakers who oppose the reconsiderationstating that an overwhelming majority of Americans support reform and that cannabis can help people with serious health problems—including his personal friends.

Nighttime humidity is not a problem that needs to be vented away

Published

Night hours present a persistent and costly challenge for commercial greenhouse operators. When the thermal screens are closed and the ventilations are closed, the greenhouse is closed, trapping the moisture produced by the crop. This creates a high-stakes battle against condensation, disease and unnecessary energy loss. Amir Kandlik, B.Sc. Plant Science and Genetics in Agriculture and agronomist with Drygair explores the critical problem of nighttime humidity and explains the strategic shift from traditional ventilation-based control to a system built around active indoor dehumidification. “This ‘closed greenhouse’ approach improves energy efficiency and supports stronger crop health.”

Night challenge: Thermodynamic and pathological risk
“At night, plants continue to transpire even though photosynthesis has stopped. Without the drying effect of daytime conditions, the air mass in the greenhouse quickly approaches saturation,” says Amir. “Traditional methods rely on ventilation, but ventilation replaces warm, CO₂-rich air with cold outside air. This increases heating demand, destabilizes temperatures and can introduce more moisture, especially in humid weather.”

A variation of this, heating the air before it is vented, wastes energy because the air conditioner is blown out immediately. “In cold, rainy, or snowy conditions, ventilation becomes impossible and humidity increases unchecked. As relative humidity rises above 85 percent and temperatures drop, surface temperatures can drop below the dew point. Condensation then forms on leaves, fruit, and structural elements, creating conditions that promote Botrytis, powdery mildew, and powdery mildew.”

Solution: “Closed” paradigm with active dehumidification.
A more advanced strategy replaces night ventilation with active internal dehumidification, keeping the greenhouse closed. Amir explains that it starts when the unit pulls in moist air, cools it below its dew point and condenses the water vapor into liquid form. “The latent heat released by condensation is captured and recycled, heating the dry air before redistributing it throughout the cottage. Instead of losing heat to dryness, this method converts moisture into heat and creates a net positive energy cycle.”

Basic advantages of the closed night strategy
This approach improves disease prevention by maintaining a stable vapor pressure deficit and preventing dew formation. Keeping surfaces above the dew point significantly reduces disease pressure. Flower tests recorded a 98% reduction in Botrytis when relative humidity remained below 85%. Energy efficiency is also increased because the airfields remain closed and latent heat is recovered during dehumidification. Vegetable producers have reported energy savings of 50%.

“Climate uniformity is improved as constant air circulation removes microclimates, and sealed conditions store CO₂ for uptake at dawn,” says Amir. Crop quality and yield benefit from consistent transpiration and improved movement of nutrients and calcium. Basil had a 15 percent yield increase without downy mildew, and unheated tomato houses had a 25 percent higher yield per stem.

Practical settings for leaders
Adopting this strategy requires changing the operational logic, which is usually handled by a climate computer. “During the day, the vents are open and the natural ventilation manages the humidity, so the dehumidifiers are turned off. At night, when the outside temperature drops below the indoor set point, the vents and screens close, and the dehumidifier operates at an RH of about 75 to 80 percent. The priority is to maintain a dew point range of at least 2 degrees. While heating is used only for temperature stability, nighttime temperatures stay below 10 degrees Celsius. in regions with , an additional defrost coil is required for continuous operation.

Looking at the field results
Field studies show that flowers grown according to this strategy maintained lower relative humidity, achieved significant energy savings and did not require night ventilation. Basil trials showed a 15 percent increase in yield and zero downy mildew. Tomatoes and peppers have seen a 5 to 25 percent increase in yield and a 98 percent reduction in disease. Cannabis growers recorded 30 to 40 percent higher yields with about 50 percent energy savings.

Specific questions about geography and climate
In very cold climates, this view is especially good. Ventilating at minus 10 degrees Celsius creates an extreme heating load, and sealing the greenhouse and dehumidifying the interior retains heat, recovers latent heat and reduces boiler use. In hot and humid climates, night ventilation is unreliable during warm or rainy weather. Active dehumidification removes moisture in a controlled manner, and with additional Air-Water Heat Exchange, the system can heat or cool the air through an external water loop.

Supporting scientific and technical references
Research includes Elad and Shtienberg’s work on Botrytis cinerea, University of Massachusetts Extension greenhouse moisture reduction guidance, Stanghellini’s transpiration studies, and Ho and Adams’ work on water and nutrient uptake in tomatoes.

Without ventilation
“Nighttime humidity is not a problem to be banished, but an imbalance to be managed,” says Amir. “The closed greenhouse strategy treats moisture as an energy resource instead of a waste product. By keeping greenhouses closed at night and using active internal dehumidification, growers can reduce disease, improve energy efficiency, retain CO₂, stabilize the nighttime climate, and increase yield and crop quality. This is one of the most impactful changes in modern greenhouse climate management.”
