This 4/20, we're celebrating Texas patients who have found relief with medical cannabis and highlighting those who help bring life-changing medicine to thousands of Texans. Here are just a few of their stories.
Medical Marijuana Helps Thousands of Texans
“My husband has peripheral neuropathy and dementia, and he requires constant care. Medical marijuana lessens his pain and calms his fears and anxiety. It's been an absolute lifesaver for both of us!”
- Maggie, Texas Original Caregiver
“Since receiving medical cannabis through Texas Original through the Compassionate Use Program, I have maintained seizure control, graduating as the Valedictorian of my high school class and being accepted into the University Honors Program at Texas A&M University.”
- Julia, Texas Original Patient
“Medical cannabis has helped me sleep better, live without the burden of chronic pain and eliminate pain pills from my treatment.”
- Barry, Texas Original Patient
"Gabriel has had to deal with more than most adults do in a lifetime. He has intractable Epilepsy along with Autism, ADHD, sensory processing disorder, Chiari Malformation, and intellectual disability. On a bad day, he could have up to 30 seizures, leaving him so tired and debilitated that it was impossible to live a normal life. 3 weeks after beginning medical cannabis, I could see a significant change in his seizure activity and by January his seizures had all but subsided. He has only had 6 major seizures in a 6-month time frame and is becoming more of the boy he was meant to be. He plays and laughs and is a joy to all that know him… it turned out to be the best decision I ever made for my son.”
- Kat, Texas Original Caregiver
What does working in medical cannabis mean to our Texas Original (TXOG) team?
We wouldn’t be able to provide our fellow Texans with this life-changing medicine without the help of our staff. So we asked them, what does working in medical cannabis mean to you?
“It’s so beautiful and incredibly powerful to me when our patients tell me their success stories and I feel so honored that I get to help provide them with relief. I fiercely believe in TXOG and can say with confidence that we’re blazing the path for others to go down in the future.”
- Autumn, TXOG Austin
“I get to spend every day working for the betterment of the community.”
- Crystal, TXOG Dallas
"Getting to see our patients every day, being able to serve them, being able to care for them and being able to see the progress they have made has brought my life so much joy. This is more than just a job. This is about helping the community and helping our patients.”
- Morgan, TXOG Houston
