In Texas, smokable medical marijuana is not allowed.
Under the Compassionate Use Program, the state only permits low‑THC cannabis products—defined as 1% THC or less by weight—and these must be in non‑smokable forms.
Texas law prohibits smoking cannabis flower, and dispensaries cannot sell any smokable products. Patients are limited to approved ingestion or metered‑dose options.
What the program does permit are metered‑dose inhalers, which are medical devices that deliver a controlled, low‑THC aerosolized dose. These are not the same as standard vape cartridges, and they must meet Texas’ strict potency and packaging rules. No other inhaled or smokable products are authorized.
So at this time, patients in Texas may only use their medicine through approved low‑THC tinctures, oils, capsules, lozenges, edibles, or metered‑dose inhalers—but not through smoking or vaping cannabis flower or cartridges.
