Texas Medical Marijuanas
Card Online

The medical marijuana legalization in Texas began in 2015, as the state passed the Compassionate-Use Act (administered by the Texas Department of Public Safety), allowing the first legal use of low-THC prescribed cannabis products. The Act expanded in 2019 and 2021 to include other qualifying conditions besides intractable epilepsy.

There are some rules regarding getting medicinal marijuana in Texas that you need to know: registered patients can only be prescribed tinctures or drops (sublingual or oral), tablets, and capsules. While the medical marijuana vs. recreational weed debate is still ongoing, you probably know that recreational marijuana is still illegal in Texas. Nevertheless, the law protects you against possession charges if you use only prescription marijuanas in the concentration and form allowed by the state.

You can get a Texas medical marijuana prescription if you meet these criteria:

• You are a permanent resident of Texas.
• You believe that you may have one of the qualifying medical conditions or symptoms approved by the state of Texas.

Basically, if you're a Texas resident and believe that you have one of the state-approved medical marijuana conditions, then you will most likely qualify. First, however, you will need to be evaluated by a licensed medical marijuana doctor.

Once approved, the doctor will enter you into the state registry with a prescription allowing you to access dispensaries. If you have any questions, call our support center or text at 240-356-1000, and we will be happy to assist you.
