In Texas, medical marijuana patients are not limited by purchase quantity, but instead by the THC concentration of the products they receive. Under the Compassionate Use Program, all medical cannabis must contain 1% THC or less by weight. This means patients can buy as much medicine as their physician prescribes, but every product dispensed must meet the low‑THC requirement.

Dispensaries in Texas provide cannabis in forms like tinctures, oils, capsules, lozenges, gummies, and other edibles, but smokable flower is prohibited. The exact amount a patient can purchase is determined by their doctor’s prescription, which is entered into the Compassionate Use Registry of Texas (CURT). Dispensaries then dispense only what is authorized in the registry, ensuring compliance with state law.
