What’s the latest about making medical marijuana legal?
5/3/21 – Parallel, a nationwide cannabis operation, launches initial medical marijuana capsules for patients in Texas under the Compassionate Use Program.
5/2/21 – Texas House Bill 1535 passed recently, potentially allowing for the expansion of Texas’ current medical marijuana program to include more qualifying conditions, including PTSD, as well as increase the THC cap from 0.5% to 5.0%. Individuals with chronic pain, debilitating conditions, and any form of cancer would also qualify for medical marijuana in Texas with the passing of this new bill.
4/29/21 – House of Representatives in Texas pass bill decriminalizing marijuana possession and significantly expanding the state’s medical cannabis program. The bill decriminalizes the possession of cannabis up to an ounce, classifying it as a misdemeanor with no potential of jail time.
4/19/21 – Parallel cannabis operations created a multi-million dollar cannabis cultivation and retail facility, increasing access to medical marijuana for patients in the San Antonio area, and also promising hundreds of new jobs.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law House Bill 3703, a measure that increases the number of qualifying patient conditions for medical cannabis use, which likely could increase dispensary sales in the state’s limited MMJ program.
In Texas, medical marijuana products may only contain low levels of the psychoactive ingredient tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC.  These products cannot be smoked. In Texas, the state’s only dispensary offer medical marijuana only in oil and inhaler forms. The 0.5% cap on THC was not repealed. The low-THC cap is the single biggest barrier for patient relief in Texas’ medical marijuana program.
