One of the main questions about the use of medical marijuana in the US is whether it\u2019s legal and what are its implications. Currently, 37 states and Washington DC<\/a> have medical marijuana programs in place, with a variety of restrictions, permissions and approved rights to cultivate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the establishment of the Compassionate Use Program<\/a> Texas joined the list in 2015. Although the law has introduced some flexibility for the use of medical marijuana statewide over the years, Texas is still one of the states with more restrictive use of this treatment alternative. This comes as no surprise given that the use of cannabis is still subject to controversy on the national stage, and more so in Texas where only 29% of the population approves the legalization of marijuana for any purpose as stated by a recent poll from the University of Texas<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the headwinds, with the introduction and evolution of the Compassionate Use Program Texas has made significant advances in the implementation of medical marijuana as a successful treatment alternative for thousands of patients in the Lone Star State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
