🌿 Is Medical Marijuana Legal in Texas? Here’s What You Need to Know

If you’ve been wondering whether medical marijuana is legal in Texas, the short answer is YES — but with important restrictions. Texas operates under a tightly regulated program called the Compassionate Use Program (CUP), which allows certain patients to legally access low‑THC cannabis products prescribed by registered physicians.

✅ What Is the Texas Compassionate Use Program?

The Texas Legislature created the Compassionate Use Program (CUP) in 2015 to give qualifying patients access to medical cannabis. Over the years, the program has expanded to include more qualifying conditions and more forms of medication.

The CUP is overseen by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), which maintains the Compassionate Use Registry of Texas (CURT). This is where physicians register patients and issue prescriptions for low‑THC cannabis.

💚 Who Qualifies for Medical Cannabis in Texas?

To qualify, you must:

✔️ Be a permanent Texas resident✔️ Be diagnosed with one of the approved medical conditions, such as:

• Epilepsy

• Seizure disorders

• Multiple sclerosis

• Spasticity

• ALS

• Autism

• Cancer

• PTSD

• (NEW in 2025) Chronic pain, Crohn’s disease, traumatic brain injury, terminal illness, and hospice care

A CUP‑registered physician must determine that medical cannabis is an appropriate treatment and enter your prescription into the state registry.

🌱 What Types of Products Are Allowed?

Texas law only allows low‑THC cannabis, which means:

• Products must contain no more than 1% THC by weight or meet specific dosage limits set by law.

• Products include oils, tinctures, capsules, edibles, topicals, patches, suppositories, inhalers, and vaporizers.

• Smoking cannabis flower is not allowed.
