Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Compassionate Use Program?

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. The bill also established the Compassionate Use Program, the state’s official medical cannabis program. Since 2015, the program has expanded twice, allowing for more than 150 conditions to qualify for medical cannabis.

What products are available in Texas?

Medical cannabis is offered in products such as gummies and tinctures. Smokeable products are not permitted per state law. Haga clic aquí to see our product offerings.

What does the 1% THC cap mean?

In Texas, medical cannabis products must contain no more than 1% THC by weight of the final product. This means that a 1-gram gummy may contain up to 10 milligrams of THC, a 2-gram gummy may contain up to 20 milligrams of THC and so on.

However, there is no limit to the amount of milligrams a physician may prescribe. It is still a crime to possess cannabis (over 0.3% THC by weight) not prescribed by a registered doctor for an approved condition in the state of Texas.

What’s the difference between over-the-counter hemp products and medical cannabis?

In 2018, the Farm Bill was signed into law, removing hemp from the Controlled Substances Act. Hemp is defined as having 0.3% THC, however, the Farm Bill only limits Delta 9 THC, unintentionally creating a loophole for an unregulated market. This loophole in the bill led to an increased interest in the hemp-derived cannabinoid market, especially in states where higher amounts of cannabis-derived Delta 9 THC products remain restricted.

Synthesized hemp-derived Delta 8, 9, and 10 THC products may pose risks for consumers due to harmful solvents and chemicals being added without adequate testing or regulation. Additionally, over-the-counter hemp products may vary in potency due to a lack of regulation, mislabeling and inconsistent processing methods.

What makes a product “medical grade”?

Medical cannabis products are regulated under the Texas Compassionate Use Program and must follow stringent quality measures. Any product produced by a licensed medical cannabis dispensary, such as Texas Original™, must meet extensive in-house testing requirements to ensure the medicine does not contain contaminants and meets the state’s potency requirements. Additionally, medical cannabis products should be formulated based on research and patient trials to optimize symptom relief.

What should I look for in a medical cannabis dispensary?

Medical cannabis dispensaries licensed in the state of Texas must abide by state regulations and ensure all products are made in-house through a vertical integration model.

A medical cannabis dispensary should:

Provide a thorough Certificate of Analysis (CoA) that is available online or attached to the medicine package.
Make medical-grade products with a rigorous quality process and provide transparency into how they are made, including making product ingredients and testing results easily accessible to the public.
Abide by state regulations and ensure all products are made in-house through a vertical integration model.
Utilize patient trials, testing research to determine the formulation of medical-grade products to ensure they are optimized to appropriately treat a variety of medical conditions and symptoms.
