Medical cannabis is available to Texans living with PTSD, nerve pain, muscle spasms, and over 100 other conditions. As an all-natural treatment, medical cannabis has already helped thousands of Texans find relief for a wide range of symptoms.
Here’s what you need to know about the state’s medical cannabis program, getting a prescription, receiving the medicine, and more.
Legal medical cannabis in Texas
In 2015, Texas passed the Compassionate Use Act. This law allowed for the first legal use of medical cannabis in the state for patients living with intractable epilepsy.
It also established the Compassionate Use Program, the state’s official medical cannabis program. The program has since expanded twice, allowing for over 100 more conditions to qualify for medical cannabis and increasing the THC cap for medicinal products.
Qualifying conditions for medical cannabis in Texas include:
- PTSD
- Muscle spasms
- Nerve pain
- Cancer
- Autism
- Epilepsy
- Alzheimer’s and other dementias
- ALS
- Parkinson’s
- And over 100 more conditions
