Let’s start with the basics. Is medical marijuana legal in Texas? (The answer might surprise you.) 

YES! Although recreational cannabis is not legal in Texas, millions of Texans qualify for medical marijuana. The Lone Star State launched a medical marijuana program under the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) called the Texas Compassionate Use Program (TCUP) in 2015 that offers relief to Texans with over 200 qualifying conditions. Acquiring medical marijuana in Texas is as easy as 1-2-3 with online appointments! Read on to learn more about how TCUP works.  

We’re glad you asked! Below, you’ll find a list of eligible conditions, but if you aren’t sure if you qualify, just fill out the Get a Prescription form and a registered physician can confirm if you qualify during your appointment.  

• PTSD
• Neuropathy (Nerve Pain)
• Spasticity (Muscle Spasms)
• Autism
• Epilepsy and Other Seizure Disorders
• Cancer
• ALS
• MS
• Parkinson’s
• Alzheimer’s
• + Over 150 Neurodegenerative Diseases 

From anxiety and depression brought on by PTSD to appetite loss from cancer treatment, Texas medical marijuana patients can get the comfort and relief they deserve.  

• Anxiety
• Appetite loss
• Depression
• Inflammation
• Insomnia
• Muscle spasms  
• Neuropathic pain  
• Night terrors
• Restlessness
• Tremors 

Texas does not use medical marijuana cards or MMJ cards. Instead, Texans who qualify receive a medical marijuana prescription from a registered doctor. Ready to get a prescription? It’s a simple 3-step process:  

1. Schedule an appointment with a doctor registered to prescribe medical cannabis.  
2. Talk to a doctor.  
3. Place an order and pick up your medicine from a Texas dispensary.
