Frequently Asked Questions
How does the medical cannabis program work in Texas?
Texas has a special program called the Compassionate Use Program (CUP). Instead of a physical card, a qualified doctor adds your prescription to a secure online list called the Compassionate Use Registry of Texas (CURT). Licensed dispensaries can then check this list to give you your medicine.
So, I won’t get a plastic medical card in the mail?
That’s right! Texas keeps everything digital. Your approval is in the online CURT system, so you don’t have to worry about losing a card. All you need is your government-issued ID at the dispensary.
What health issues qualify for medical cannabis in Texas?
Many conditions can qualify you for the program, such as PTSD, cancer, epilepsy, and over 100 different neurological conditions. For a more complete list, you can visit our medical conditions page.
Is all cannabis legal for medical use in Texas?
No, the program is for low-THC cannabis. This means the products have 1% or less THC content. Also, smoking cannabis is not allowed; the law only permits forms like oils, tinctures, and edibles.
What is the Compassionate Use Registry of Texas (CURT)?
CURT is the secure online system used by the state of Texas. It’s where your doctor enters your prescription for low-THC cannabis. This is how licensed dispensaries verify that you are a legal patient.
How do I get started with my application?
It’s super simple. The first step is to have a video call with one of our licensed Texas doctors. They will see if you qualify. You can schedule your appointment right now to get started.
Is the whole process really done online?
Yes! From filling out the form to talking with the doctor, you can do everything from the comfort of your home. No need to drive to a clinic or wait in a stuffy office.
What happens if the doctor doesn't approve my application?
Don’t worry! Your consultation is completely risk-free. If you are not approved for a medical cannabis prescription for any reason, we will give you a full refund.
How much does the consultation cost?
We offer a flat fee for the consultation with our doctors. There are no hidden charges. This fee covers your evaluation and, if approved, your registration in the CURT system.
Is my personal information safe?
Absolutely. We follow strict privacy rules to make sure your medical and personal information is kept secure and confidential.
Who is eligible to get medical cannabis in Texas?
To qualify, you must be a permanent resident of Texas and have one of the health conditions approved by the state’s program.
Can children get a prescription for medical cannabis?
Yes, minors can be part of the program. However, they need a legal guardian to manage their appointments and pick up their medicine from the dispensary.
Once I'm approved, how do I get my medicine?
After your doctor adds your prescription to the CURT system, you can visit any licensed Texas dispensary. You will just need to show your valid ID, and they will be able to look up your prescription.
How long does a prescription last?
A doctor will determine the length of your prescription based on your medical condition. You will need to have another consultation before it expires to renew it.
