This spring, we’re taking a deeper look at medical cannabis in Texas — what’s legal, the latest products available to patients, and how some say it’s changing lives.
What’s legal in the Lone Star State?

- PTSD
- Cancer
- Epilepsy
- Neuropathy
- Spasticity
- Autism
- Parkinson’s
- Incurable neurodegenerative conditions

The lives it’s changed
When Jacob began experiencing severe dizziness, nausea, and seizures, his life changed. After exhausting multiple treatment options, he was diagnosed with a rare form of epilepsy.
Desperate for relief, Jacob’s family turned to medical cannabis.
Since October 2020, he has been seizure-free thanks to Texas Original."I used to be scared when I’d wake up dizzy and have a seizure,” Jacob said. “Now I don’t worry anymore.”
For Barry, a veteran, it offered him a different way to find relief in his healing journey.
After losing his son and being diagnosed with Stage 4 colorectal cancer in the same year, Barry became dependent on prescription opioids for pain relief.
Within an hour of taking his first dose of medical cannabis, he felt immediate physical and emotional relief.
Now cancer-free, the veteran has regained mobility and rediscovered joy in life."I feel better than I’ve felt since I was 45 years old,” Barry said.
How to get a prescription
It only takes three easy steps. Here’s how it works:
- Contact a registered physician via telemedicine or in person.
- If eligible, the physician will enter your prescription in the Compassionate Use Registry of Texas (CURT).
