    Find Relief

    A 4/20 guide on how to get a medical cannabis prescription in Texas

    CultureMap Create
    Apr 20, 2023 | 12:00 pm

    This 4/20, celebrate the life-changing benefits of medical cannabis with Texas Original, the leading medical cannabis dispensary in Texas.

    Since opening its doors in Austin in 2018, Texas Original has served patients from all corners of the state with several convenient pickup locations in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Fort Worth, and more.

    With over 150 conditions approved under the Compassionate Use Program, medical marijuana has become a source of relief for thousands of Texans.

    From enabling patients to attain a life without seizures to helping patients break free from the grips of harmful opioid medications, medical cannabis brings hope to countless Texans across the state.

    Ready to become a patient? Follow these steps to get a medical marijuana prescription in Texas.

    Step 1: Find out if you qualify
    The first step is to check if you are eligible for medical cannabis. Several doctors registered in the Compassionate Use Program offer virtual appointments for Texans statewide.

    To set up an appointment, visit Texas Original's website and fill out the form.

    If you belong to an eligible group (veterans, first responders, teachers, and medical professionals), check the box on the form to receive a free first appointment for a six-month prescription and discounts on follow-up appointments.

    Step 2: Talk to a doctor
    During your appointment, the doctor will review your medical records and confirm your eligibility for medical cannabis. Once approved, your doctor will add your prescription to the online medical cannabis registry, where licensed dispensaries can access it.

    Step 3: Get your prescription
    After your appointment, call 512-614-0343 to place your first order. Texas Original offers the state's leading medical-grade cannabis products, including the state's first fast-acting medical cannabis gummies.

    All products undergo rigorous testing and the results are published publicly on Texas Original's website for patients to access anytime. The dispensary team will help you select your products and schedule you for a pickup or delivery.

    As a leader in the state, Texas Original is dedicated to bringing high-quality medical cannabis products to Texans.

    Start your journey to relief by reaching out to Texas Original. Plus, enjoy 20 percent off your first order of medical-grade products.
