Texas has broadened its Compassionate Use Program, adding chronic pain, Crohn’s disease, inflammatory bowel disease, traumatic brain injury, terminal illness, and hospice care to its qualifying conditions. The expansion significantly increases patient access, supported by strong public approval. The state plans to grow its dispensary network from three to fifteen locations, improving availability for rural communities. Updated rules also allow more product options and greater prescription flexibility, marking a major shift in Texas’ medical cannabis landscape.
