Texas Medical Cannabis: Progress and Challenges | TDR Cannabis in 5

Описание: TDR Cannabis in Five, presented by Dutchie, is covering the latest expansion of Texas’s medical marijuana program. At the same time, new polling shows overwhelming support from Texans who say cannabis is effective in treating chronic pain.

In this episode, host Shadd Dales outlines how the Texas Compassionate Use Program (TCUP) has broadened eligibility to include conditions such as chronic pain, traumatic brain injuries, Crohn’s disease, and patients in hospice care. This marks an important shift, potentially opening access for tens of thousands who were previously left without legal options.

Despite this progress, the program still faces significant challenges. THC levels remain capped at 1%, smokable flower is prohibited, and only three licensed operators currently serve the entire state. Many patients must travel long distances to reach a dispensary, while limited physician participation continues to hold enrollment back.

The program’s limitations stand in contrast with strong public sentiment. A NuggMD survey found that 91% of Texans who use cannabis report it helps with chronic pain. This near-unanimous agreement adds pressure on lawmakers who have historically resisted major reforms.

By breaking down these developments, the episode provides context on how Texas compares nationally, the obstacles that remain, and the key milestones to watch as the program continues to evolve.
