Medical Cannabis in San Antonio, Texas

Bexar County โ€ข San Antonio-New Braunfels

Where to Get Texas Compassionate Use Cannabis in San Antonio

San Antonio is one of only a handful of Texas cities with two licensed in-city pickup options. Texas Original operates a dispensary at 1464 Austin Highway in Northeast San Antonio, a short drive from Alamo Heights, Terrell Hills, Castle Hills, and the Pearl District, and easy off Loop 410 from Downtown and the Medical Center. Goodblend operates a second pickup at 18720 Stone Oak Parkway in North San Antonio, serving Stone Oak, Bulverde, and the rest of the 1604 corridor. Fluent rounds out the network with statewide delivery to more than 1,900 Texas ZIP codes covering New Braunfels, Schertz, Cibolo, Live Oak, Universal City, Leon Valley, Helotes, and Boerne, and Texas Original delivers free statewide on orders of $200 or more.

The product mix is the same one HB 46 unlocked across the state. Tinctures, capsules, edibles, and topicals are joined by HB 46-authorized vaporizers, metered-dose inhalers, nebulizers, transdermal patches, and lotions, all dose-controlled at 10 mg of THC per dose and 1 g per package. Smokable flower stays prohibited in Texas, so the typical San Antonio regimen is a daytime tincture or vaporizer paired with a nighttime edible. With the state ordered to issue 12 additional dispensary licenses, the metro that already has two storefronts is well-positioned to add a third within 24 months.

How to Get Your Texas Compassionate Use Prescription Online from San Antonio

Texas charges no state fee, no card-printing fee, and no annual fee. The only cost a San Antonio patient pays is $149.99 for the MMJ.com telehealth evaluation with a CURT-registered physician. The visit runs about fifteen minutes from anywhere with a phone or laptop, and once your physician submits the prescription into CURT (the Compassionate Use Registry of Texas), you are eligible to place an order with Texas Original, Goodblend, or Fluent the same day. There is no physical card to wait for. Dispensaries verify your eligibility electronically against your CURT entry at pickup.

Your prescription is valid for one year and carries four 90-day refills with HB 46-formalized partial fills, so a San Antonio patient testing a tincture or a vaporizer for the first time can pull a 30-day supply without locking into a 90-day order. Renewal each year is the same telehealth process at the same $149.99 price, no DPS paperwork on the patient side. The VA does not issue medical marijuana cards (a non-VA, state-licensed physician must write the certification or recommendation). Active-duty service members remain bound by the UCMJ and cannot legally use cannabis regardless of state TCUP enrollment, and contractors with active security clearances should review their employer drug policy and federal contractor rules before enrolling.

What HB 46 Means for San Antonio-Area TCUP Patients

San Antonio is one of the largest military medicine hubs in the country, and HB 46's expansion lines up directly with the patient mix at Brooke Army Medical Center, Wilford Hall, and the surrounding VA system. Chronic pain (continuous or intermittent severe pain lasting more than 90 days) and traumatic brain injury are now qualifying conditions in their own right, alongside the existing PTSD pathway. That means a Fort Sam Houston veteran with combat-related chronic pain, a Randolph retiree with post-surgical pain, and a military spouse managing PTSD all reach the same low-THC, dose-controlled program through one $149.99 telehealth visit. (Note: Active-duty service members remain bound by the UCMJ and federal law, which prohibits cannabis use regardless of Texas TCUP enrollment. TCUP enrollment is open to non-active-duty Texans whose employment does not subject them to federal drug testing or active security clearance requirements.)

The expansion also reaches well beyond the military community. HB 46 added Crohn's disease, terminal illness, hospice and palliative care, inflammatory bowel disease, and degenerative disc disease to the qualifying list, on top of cancer, PTSD, epilepsy, MS, ALS, autism, spasticity, and neurodegenerative diseases. For Stone Oak and Alamo Heights professionals managing arthritis or fibromyalgia, for Medical Center oncology patients managing chemotherapy side effects, and for South Side residents with degenerative spine conditions, the new 10 mg per dose / 1 g per package framework produces predictable dosing in formats that did not exist under the old 1 percent THC cap. San Antonio's CURT enrollment numbers have climbed quickly since the September 2025 effective date for exactly that reason.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does chronic pain qualify for medical cannabis in Texas?

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.

How much does a Texas medical cannabis prescription cost in San Antonio?

Through MMJ.com the total cost for a San Antonio 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.

Can I smoke marijuana with a Texas prescription?

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.

Do I get a physical medical marijuana card in Texas?

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.

How strong is the THC in Texas products?

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.

Can I use telemedicine for my Texas evaluation?

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.

How long does the Texas medical cannabis process take in San Antonio?

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 San Antonio or fulfill an in-person pickup at the closest licensed location. Many patients complete the entire process in under 24 hours.

Is recreational marijuana legal in Texas?

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.
