The medical use of low-THC cannabis under and the administration of the Texas Compassionate-Use Program; requiring registration

Texas HB46 expands the Texas Compassionate-Use Program by allowing the medical use of low-THC cannabis. It requires patients and providers to register for participation in this program, ensuring that those who need medical cannabis can access it legally and safely.

Supporters of HB46 champion it as a significant step forward in providing relief to Texans with certain medical conditions. By expanding access to low-THC cannabis, the bill offers a compassionate option for patients seeking alternative treatments while maintaining regulatory oversight.

Critics of HB46 argue that the bill does not go far enough in expanding access to cannabis for medical use. They contend that the program remains too restrictive and fails to address the needs of a broader range of patients who could benefit from medical cannabis.
