Medical Cannabis Card in Georgetown, TX

Yes. As of September 1, 2025, chronic pain qualifies as a standalone condition under HB 46. The statute defines chronic pain as continuous or intermittent severe pain lasting more than 90 days, which opens TCUP access to millions of Texans managing back pain, arthritis, fibromyalgia, neuropathy, migraines, and similar conditions. This is the largest expansion since the program launched in 2015.

Through MMJ.com the total cost for a Georgetown patient is $149.99 for the physician evaluation. Texas charges $0 in state registration fees, which makes the program one of the most affordable in the country. There is no separate application fee, no patient ID-card fee, and no annual state renewal fee on top of the evaluation.

No. Smokable flower remains prohibited in Texas, even for prescription patients. HB 46's September 2025 expansion did add vaporizers, metered-dose inhalers, nebulizers, transdermal patches, and lotions to the legal product list, alongside the existing tinctures, capsules, edibles, topicals, and beverages. All products are dose-controlled at 10 mg of THC per dose and 1 g per package.

No. Texas does not issue a physical card. Your prescription is registered in the Compassionate Use Registry of Texas (CURT) by your physician at the time of your visit. When you order from a licensed dispensary, they verify your prescription electronically using your name, date of birth, and the last 5 digits of your Social Security number.

HB 46 raised the cap from the original 1 percent THC by weight to 10 mg of THC per dose and 1 g (1,000 mg) of THC per package as of September 2025. This is still more conservative than adult-use markets, but it standardizes dosing across vaporizers, edibles, tinctures, patches, and inhalers and produces consistent regimens for chronic pain, PTSD, and TBI patients.

Yes. Telemedicine evaluations are explicitly allowed under TCUP, including post-HB 46. You meet with a CURT-registered physician via secure video from your home in Texas. The physician submits your prescription directly into CURT, and a licensed dispensary can fulfill it the same day.

Texas runs one of the fastest medical cannabis workflows in the country. There is no state application to submit and no waiting period. After your $149.99 telehealth visit, the physician enters your prescription into CURT the same day, and a licensed dispensary can deliver to Georgetown or fulfill an in-person pickup at the closest licensed location. Many patients complete the entire process in under 24 hours.

No. Recreational cannabis remains illegal in Texas. Possession without a valid TCUP prescription can carry criminal penalties under the Texas Controlled Substances Act. The Compassionate Use Program, with its physician-issued prescription registered in CURT, is the only legal pathway to cannabis in Texas.
