THC stands for tetrahydrocannabinol, which is a substance found in cannabis plant. The most prevalent THC found in cannabis is delta-9 THC. This is the substance commonly thought to produce the “high” from cannabis consumption.

CBD is the acronym for cannabidiol, which also comes from the cannabis plant. This substance is understood to have therapeutic benefits without the “high” effect presumed to be caused by THC.

Under Texas law, consumable hemp products are foods, drugs, devices or cosmetics that contain hemp or hemp-derived cannabinoids. Consumable hemp products that do not exceed 0.3% of delta-9 THC are legal to be bought, sold, possessed, and used in Texas. These types of products do not require a prescription.

Under Texas law, marijuana is the cannabis plant, seeds and all derivatives but does not include hemp or consumable hemp products, so long as the delta-9 THC level does not exceed 0.3%. Mature cannabis plant stalks, fiber from those stalks, seed oil/cake and their derivatives and sterilized seeds are also not considered marijuana under Texas law. Currently, marijuana is illegal in the State of Texas for recreational consumption.

Low-THC Cannabis, under Texas law, is the plant Cannabis sativa L., and any part of that plant or any compound, manufacture, salt, derivative, mixture, preparation, resin, or oil of that plant that contains no more than 3.0% by weight of THC.

The TCUP is administered by the Department of Public Safety (DPS). The DPS manages an online registry (Compassionate Use Registry of Texas – CURT) of physicians that are authorized to prescribe low THC and patients that have certain approved medical conditions who have been entered into the registry.

1. THC concentration percentage: cannabis products that have a delta-9 THC level not in excess of 0.3% on a dry weight basis are considered legal hemp, while products with delta-9 THC levels above 0.3% on a dry weight basis are considered illegal, Schedule I marijuana.
2. Prescription requirement: consumable hemp products may be purchased online and at retail stores without any prescription. Medical marijuana requires a patient to be registered in the Compassionate Use Registry of Texas (CURT).
3. Qualifying medical conditions: No qualifying medical conditions are required to purchase consumable hemp products. A patient must be registered in CURT to be able to purchase medical marijuana in Texas.

Texas Medical Marijuana Doctors will create a card to identify its patients upon request, but these cards are not State-issued and are simply provided for convenience to our patients so they can easily identify themselves as qualified patients, whether it be to law enforcement, an employer or anyone else.

Individuals must qualify and be entered into the CURT system by a registered physician, including Texas Medical Marijuana Doctors. Once qualified, a patient can contact one of the licensed dispensing organizations to order products and arrange for delivery or pickup of the medical marijuana.

Cannabis effects each user differently. Most side effects experienced, if any, are mild in nature. Possible side effects may include, but are not limited to, increased heart rate, dizziness, impaired concentration and memory, slower reaction times, increased appetite, and mild sedation. There may be some negative interactions with other medications so it is important to let your doctor know of all other medications or supplements being taken.

Texas Medical Marijuana Doctors will provide the patient with a medical consultation to determine if you qualify for a medical prescription for low-THC cannabis. The initial consultation starts $300 and recertification appointments start at $200. We accept payment via cash and all major credit/debit cards. Appointments can be in-person or via virtual telemedicine appointments.
