Our Mission
CannabisTexas.org exists to provide accurate, educational cannabis information for Texas residents, visitors, and anyone interested in understanding the Lone Star State's cannabis landscape. We cover Texas law, the medical program (TCUP), the hemp-derived THC market, criminal penalties, reform efforts, and the border dynamics that shape cannabis in the nation's second-largest state.
What We Do
- Explain the law — Plain-language guides to Texas cannabis statutes, penalties, and the critical distinction between marijuana and concentrates
- Cover the medical program — Comprehensive information on TCUP enrollment, qualifying conditions, dispensaries, and the 1% THC cap
- Track reform — Legislative history, polling data, advocacy organizations, and the structural barriers to change
- Map border dynamics — How neighboring legal markets in New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma, and Arkansas affect Texans
- Educate on hemp and delta-8 — The legal gray area of the $5.5 billion hemp-derived THC market
What We Don't Do
- We do not sell cannabis — We are an educational resource, not a retailer or delivery service
- We do not accept advertising — No dispensary ads, no product placements, no sponsored content
- We do not use affiliate links — We have no financial relationship with any cannabis business
- We do not provide legal advice — Our content is informational. Consult a qualified attorney for legal questions
- We do not provide medical advice — Consult a healthcare provider for medical cannabis questions
