Medical Marijuana is in Austin. Here’s What You Need to Know.
In 2015, Texas passed the Compassionate Use Act, a landmark legislation that paved the way for the first legal use of medical marijuana within the state. Since then, the Compassionate Use Program has expanded twice, allowing millions of Texans to qualify for medical marijuana in Texas.
Texas Original, the state’s leading medical marijuana provider, opened Austin’s first dispensary in 2018. Now, Texas Original offers convenient medical marijuana pickups across the state, with several locations in the Austin area.
