Texas governor vetoes bill that would ban all THC products
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott vetoed a bill Sunday to ban all THC consumables, allowing the booming market flush with THC-infused vapes, gummies and other products to continue to be sold across the state.

Lead by a significant decline in sales of wine and spirits, Constellation Brands missed top and bottom line estimates for the first quarter but maintained its current FY26 EPS guidance, mitigating losses in after-hours trading.
Faced with softer consumer demand, the parent company of Corona and Robert Mondavi Winery earned a profit of $3.22 per share, down from $3.57 a year ago and 7 cents less than expected.
