Qualifying Conditions

2. Talk to a Doctor

Once you know that you qualify, the next step to becoming a medical marijuana patient is to talk to a doctor. Instead of medical cards, Texas requires a prescription from a doctor who is registered to prescribe medical marijuana. If your current doctor isn’t part of the program, we can help them register.

We can also connect you to our network of trusted doctors who are ready to prescribe medical marijuana. This includes safe, easy and secure telemedicine options. Plus, you don’t need to change your primary care physician.

3. Pick Up Your Medicine

After your appointment, your doctor will electronically put your prescription into the system. Once your prescription is in, call us to receive 20% off your first order. Before selecting where to pick up your medicine, be sure to ask about dispensary pick-up locations, delivery times and reviews from other medical marijuana patients.

Can I travel with my medication?

When traveling in Texas, we recommend keeping your prescription information with you. It’s important to remember that cannabis-based medicine is still a federally illegal substance, so we do not recommend traveling out of state with your medicine.

What if my doctor hasn’t heard of medical marijuana in Texas?

Although medical cannabis is legal for qualifying conditions in Texas, not all doctors know about the program. You can check out our resources for talking to your doctor about medical cannabis or we can help put you in touch with a doctor who is ready to prescribe.
