Epilepsy & Seizure Disorders
Cannabis-derived CBD has shown remarkable results in reducing seizure frequency for patients with treatment-resistant epilepsy, including children with Dravet syndrome.
Change Starts With Us
We believe that change begins at the community level. Texas Cannabis Coalition was founded to bring together patients, caregivers, advocates, and everyday Texans who believe in the healing power of cannabis and the need for sensible, compassionate policy reform.
Whether you're a patient seeking relief, a caregiver supporting a loved one, or simply someone who believes in personal freedom and medical access—you belong here. Together, we can build the movement that changes Texas.
Cannabis Helps Real Texans
Chronic Pain
Millions of Texans live with chronic pain conditions. Cannabis offers a safer alternative to opioids, helping patients manage pain while reducing dependency risks.
PTSD & Mental Health
Veterans and trauma survivors are finding relief through cannabis therapy. Studies show significant reductions in PTSD symptoms, anxiety, and sleep disturbances.
Multiple Sclerosis
Cannabis helps MS patients manage spasticity, pain, and bladder dysfunction—improving quality of life for those living with this challenging neurological condition.
Cancer & Chemotherapy
Cancer patients use cannabis to combat nausea, stimulate appetite, and manage pain during chemotherapy—helping them maintain strength through treatment.
Autism Spectrum Disorder
Families of children with autism are reporting improvements in behavior, communication, and quality of life with cannabis therapies, offering new hope where few options exist.
"Cannabis isn't just a plant—it's a lifeline for thousands of Texans who deserve access to safe, legal medicine."
Is cannabis legal in Texas?
Texas has very limited medical cannabis access through the Compassionate Use Program (CUP), which allows low-THC cannabis for specific conditions. Recreational cannabis remains illegal. We're working to change that.
What is the Texas Compassionate Use Program?
The CUP allows licensed physicians to prescribe low-THC cannabis (up to 1% THC) to patients with qualifying conditions including epilepsy, PTSD, cancer, ALS, and several other serious conditions.
How do I qualify for medical cannabis in Texas?
You must have a qualifying condition and receive a prescription from a licensed CUP physician. Visit our TCUP page for a full list of qualifying conditions and how to find a registered doctor.
