Texas Medical Marijuana Law
In 2015, the Texas Compassionate Use Act was signed into law; although, it will likely need significant changes to function properly. Nonetheless, it shows that the state legislature recognizes the benefits of medical marijuana for extremely ill citizens. The TCUA allows some qualifying citizens access to low-THC marijuana (marijuana that contains 10% or more cannabidiol, or CBD, and no more than 0.5% tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC). Regulated businesses known as dispensing organizations will be allowed to cultivate, process, and distribute the low-THC marijuana to certain patients.
