Frequently Asked Questions

All sales are final at Texas Original. If you have questions about your dose, side effects or medication interactions, please consult your prescribing physician.

All dosing and medical questions should be referred to your prescribing doctor.

Our tinctures are made with simple ingredients and are sugar-free, gluten-free, dye-free and vegan. Our tinctures are made with natural flavors with the exception of our cherry and Sweet Dreams tinctures, which contain very small amounts of artificial flavor. Our gummies are vegan, gluten-free and made without artificial dyes or flavors. 

Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposing your medicine to direct sunlight, high humidity environments and extreme heat. We do not recommend refrigerating the medicine.

Cannabis is a botanical medicine, so there can be slight variations in the plant material from batch to batch. We don’t use any artificial dyes to control for color, so you may see variations. We rigorously test each batch for any contamination prior to bottling to ensure quality and consistency. Color variation does not impact either quality or consistency of your medicine.

Our unflavored tinctures and Sweet Dreams gummies contain terpenes.

While minimal side effects have been reported by patients, we know each person is different. Common, mild side effects include nausea, gastrointestinal issues and sleepiness. Side effects may be more likely to occur if the medicine is taken while dehydrated, on an empty stomach or in too high of a dose. Always start low and go slow to avoid potential side effects. Please speak with your doctor about any concerns or potential interactions with your current medications.

There is no indication that taking with or without food/water affects the efficacy of this medicine. 

Our tinctures are sublingual – they are formulated to be placed in the cheek or under the tongue and held there as long as possible to maximize absorption in the mouth prior to being swallowed.

When traveling in Texas, we recommend keeping your prescription info with you. It’s important to remember that cannabis-based medicine is still a federally illegal substance, so we do not recommend traveling out of state with your medicine.

CBG, or cannabigerol, is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. It is considered to be the "mother of all cannabinoids" because it is the precursor cannabinoid from which other cannabinoids (like THC) are derived. When taken with THC, CBG may be beneficial for symptoms such as inflammation, appetite, anxiety and pain. CBG may also produce a more energizing, focused, balanced and uplifting effect. 

CBN, or cannabinol, is one of over a hundred cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. CBN may produce a relaxing, sedative effect and is often used as a natural sleep aid. When taken with THC, CBN may enhance the sedative effects of medical cannabis and alleviate symptoms such as restlessness, insomnia and more. Our Sweet Dreams products contain CBN, THC and targeted rest terpenes to help relieve sleep-related issues associated with qualifying medical conditions. 

The cannabis plant produces over 100 phytocannabinoids similar to endocannabinoids found in the human body. When ingested, the endocannabinoid system (ECS) helps transport cannabinoids throughout the body. Phytocannabinoids found in the cannabis plant, like CBD and THC, bind to cannabinoid receptors in our body and can enhance or influence the endocannabinoid system's function. Cannabinoids from the cannabis plant interact with receptors in the ECS to maintain homeostasis by regulating our mood, energy levels, immune function, blood pressure, how we experience pain, stress, hunger and more. 

While patients have reported minimal side effects, we know everyone is different. Common, mild side effects include nausea, gastrointestinal issues and sleepiness. Side effects may be more likely to occur if the medicine is taken while dehydrated, on an empty stomach or in too high of a dose. Always start low and go slow to avoid potential side effects. Please speak with your doctor about any concerns or potential interactions with your current medications. 

RSO, or Rick Simpson Oil, is a full spectrum cannabis extract that includes all the cannabinoids of the plant, including THC, CBD, flavonoids, terpenes, proteins and other potentially beneficial compounds. 

Unfortunately, it is federally illegal to mail cannabis products. All deliveries must be completed by our drivers.

Patients who live within 10 miles of a pickup location are ineligible for delivery because we reserve home deliveries for those who cannot leave their homes or drive.

Yes. We require a valid ID for all patients upon receipt of the medicine. If someone is picking up or accepting delivery for you, you must have your physician add them as a caregiver. They will also need to provide ID upon receipt.
