Texas THC laws have changed under House Bill 46, bringing patients more options for relief with medical cannabis. For years, patients in the Texas Compassionate Use Program were limited to medical cannabis products containing no more than 1% THC by weight. This requirement restricted the types of products licensed medical marijuana dispensaries could offer. Now, medical marijuana dispensaries in Texas can offer a variety of medical-grade THC options, including the first medical concentrates in Texas. Read on to learn more about what's legal in Texas, what the THC laws mean and more.
What Amount of THC is Allowed in Texas?
As of September 1, 2025, Texas removed the 1% THC by weight requirement and replaced it with a cap of 10 mg THC per dose and 1,000 mg THC per package. Physicians may prescribe patients up to a 90 day supply with up to four refills. There is no limit to the number of doses a physician may prescribe within the 90-day prescription to treat the patient's symptoms.
This update modernizes the program and expands the treatment options available for Texas medical cannabis patients. Moving to measuring THC by milligrams also aligns with how common medications are dosed and how other states with established programs measure THC.
Medical Cannabis Vaporization in Texas
One of the most notable updates under House Bill 46 is the addition of medical vaporization. These types of products may provide quick relief for patients managing symptoms such as sudden pain, nausea, or anxiety associated with qualifying conditions.

What is the New Law on Vaping in Texas?
In September 2025, Texas Senate Bill 2024 (SB 2024) went into effect, implementing several new restrictions on vape products in Texas. One of the restrictions makes it illegal to sell or market vape products containing cannabinoids such as Delta-9 THC. However, this restriction does not apply to regulated medical cannabis vaporization devices prescribed under the Texas Compassionate Use Program.
