Published

PLANO, TX – Texas is one step closer to expanding its medical marijuana program. House Bill 1535 would open up the Texas Compassionate Use Program to all cancer patients, veterans with PTSD and those with chronic pain that would usually be treated with opioids.

To the surprise of some weed advocates, the bill made it out of the Texas House Committee on Public Health.

If passed, the bill would also include a significant increase in the state’s THC limit for medical marijuana products. Currently, the cap is 0.5% THC. The bill would increase this to 5%.
