How to Get a Medical Cannabis Prescription in Texas

Did you know that Texas has a medical marijuana program? The Texas Compassionate Use Program (CUP) was established in 2015 for Texans with intractable epilepsy and expanded to over 150 other qualifying conditions in the following years. Now, many Texans qualify for Texas-made, lab-tested and legal medical marijuana under the CUP.

What Is the Texas Compassionate Use Program (CUP)?

The Texas Compassionate Use Program is a
medical marijuana program
managed by the Texas Department of Public Safety. The Texas DPS operates a secure online registry of qualified physicians who are legally allowed to
prescribe medical cannabis
to Texas patients with specific qualifying conditions. The Texas Compassionate Use Program (CUP) has the potential to expand to more qualifying conditions based on state legislation every other year.

What Are Some of the Qualifying Conditions?

Originally, the Compassionate Use Program only covered patients with intractable epilepsy, but now more than 150 conditions qualify for medical marijuana in Texas. In September 2025, the program significantly expanded to include new conditions like chronic pain. Some of the qualifying conditions for medical marijuana in Texas include:

Chronic pain
PTSD
Peripheral neuropathy
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
Crohn’s Disease
Epilepsy
Multiple Sclerosis
Spasticity
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
Autism
Cancer
Alzheimer’s and other dementias
Over 150 incurable neurodegenerative diseases

How Do I Get a Medical Card in Texas?

Unlike medical cannabis programs in other states, Texas utilizes a prescription as opposed to medical cards. After you meet with a registered doctor, your prescription is added to a secure registry that can be accessed by licensed dispensaries.
