  • This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Customers will receive a free doctor’s appointment and, if they qualify, Texas Original will cover the prescription cost.

    In Texas, medical cannabis is only available to people with doctor-certified debilitating conditions such as epilepsy, multiple sclerosis and cancer.

    The Austin-based company’s unique promotion is intended to create an entry point for those who can benefit from the state’s compassionate use program, said Texas Original CEO Nico Richardson.

    The Hurst pickup location at 760 Airport Freeway, Suite 300 D, is the company’s sixth in Dallas-Fort Worth.

    Because smoking marijuana in Texas is illegal for recreational or medical reasons, patients can only buy capsules, oils, topical creams and patches.

    This year, legislation like House Bill 1805 would have given Texans with other chronic pain conditions access to medicinal cannabis, but it failed to pass the Senate despite support from Republicans and Democrats.


    I'm a bot and I'm open source!

  • Are you telling me fucking Texas got some form of legal weed before Wisconsin????? What???? And it was in 2021?????

    Man, my state fucking sucks. We’ll probably be one of the last, and they already missed the boat for that tax money. States bordering have mostly had it long enough that their markets are getting flooded with cheap product, so when we do finally legalize, we aren’t going to be able to charge much. Hell the last time I went I hit the legal per-transaction max and spent about half the cash I had planned (previously I’d run out of money well before hitting the max).
