HOW TO BECOME A TEXAS PATIENT

Background

The Texas Compassionate Use Program (TCUP) allows a boardcertified physician to prescribe medical marijuana to patients diagnosed with a qualifying condition.

Originally enacted in 2015, the Texas Legislature expanded the program in 2019 and 2021 to include more qualifying conditions, such as PTSD and all forms of cancer.

As of March 2022, there are over 22,000 TCUP patients and 557 prescribing physicians.

TEXAS VS. OTHER STATES

There are some key differences with the TCUP program compared to other states with medical marijuana programs.

The first difference is that patients don’t need a stateissued ‘medical card’ to participate. Instead, patients just need a prescription from a registered physician. Prescription information is regulated by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS). This ensures that enforcement bodies like the Police Department are able to identify legal TCUP patients.

The second difference is that smokable marijuana flower is still illegal. This means that patients cannot buy, grow, or smoke marijuana flower in the state of Texas.

That’s why goodblend offers the widest assortment of nonsmokable products in the state. Even patients who prefer to smoke flower should be able to find a product that meets their needs.

The third difference is that dispensaries aren’t allowed to store product inventory in retail locations like other states. This is why there are currently no brick & mortar retail dispensaries in the state. Instead, goodblend delivers to our patients doors, and offers many local pick-up locations in major metro areas.

The last difference is that Texas regulations restrict the amount of THC that a product can contain - 1% by weight. This might sound like an insubstantial amount, but when you weigh products like chocolate bars and gummies, it become clear that an effective dose of THC can be infused into these edible products. goodblend has hired many talented cannabis chefs and developers so that our edible products are of the highest quality, even with dosing restrictions.
