Texas – FAQ

You qualify for medical marijuana in Texas if you meet the following requirements:

• You must be a permanent resident of Texas.
• Your illness must be on the Texas medical marijuana official list of conditions.
• You must have a marijuana prescription from a Compassionate Use Program (CUP) registered doctor.

The qualifying conditions for medical marijuana in Texas include:

• Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
• Autism 
• Cancer
• A condition that causes chronic pain
• Medical conditions designated by the Health and Human Services Commission as authorizing treatment with low-THC cannabis as part of an approved research program
• Crohn’s disease or other inflammatory bowel disease
• Epilepsy
• Incurable neurodegenerative diseases
• Multiple sclerosis (MS)
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Seizure disorders
• Spasticity
• Terminal illness or conditions for which a patient is receiving hospice or palliative care
• Traumatic brain injury

A diagnosis alone does not guarantee approval. The physician must determine that the potential benefits of low-THC cannabis outweigh the risks for the patient.

No. The law doesn’t obligate marijuana doctors in Texas to approve patients for medical marijuana. Your doctor must determine whether the risks of low-THC cannabis are reasonable in light of its potential benefits for you.

Yes. Once you book your appointment, we’ll send you a secure link for your video call when the consultation time approaches. You’ll meet with your physician to discuss how medical cannabis could benefit your health–this generally takes 10-15 minutes. After your doctor approves, you’ll receive your prescription via email. It’ll also be available from your Quick Med Cards dashboard.

Your Texas cannabis doctor will enter your prescription into the Compassionate Use Registry of Texas (CURT).

Texas doesn’t issue physical medical cards to patients. 

Once your doctor enters your prescription in CURT, a licensed Texas dispensary can verify it and dispense your medication according to the prescription.

Your cannabis prescription will be valid for 1 year.

You can always retrieve your cannabis prescription from your Quick Med Cards dashboard.
