Medical Cannabis for Chronic Pain

Although medical cannabis is a proven treatment for chronic pain, patients living with chronic pain still face limited treatment options since it does not qualify for medical cannabis in Texas. Medical cannabis offers an all-natural, effective alternative to opioid medications, which have been linked to thousands of overdose deaths in the state every year. As opioid-involved deaths continue to rise in the state, Texas Original calls on legislators to include chronic pain as a qualifying condition, providing patients living with chronic pain access to safe, effective relief.

Under the current program, patients living with qualifying medical conditions have seen life-changing success with medical cannabis as a treatment for pain and other symptoms. Read on to learn about Texas Original patients who have found relief with medical cannabis.

Life-Changing Pain Relief With Medical Cannabis

Michelle lived with years of chronic pain since she was a child. After learning she had scoliosis at 12 years old, Michelle began taking over-the-counter pain medication daily. They weren’t enough to help with her pain, so doctors began prescribing her opioids. Later, at 27, Michelle started to have excruciating nerve pain in her foot and discovered that she had a dead bone and three bursas. Michelle lost her ability to walk, go to work and drive due to her condition.

After years of excruciating pain, Michelle discovered that she qualified for medical cannabis with her neuropathy diagnosis. With medical cannabis, Michelle finally found relief, discontinued all opioids and is managing her pain effectively without harmful side effects. Michelle has regained the ability to walk again, work out, drive and travel with her husband.
