In spring of 2021, the Texas House passed House Bill 1535<\/a> to raise the cap on THC level in medicinal products from 0.5 percent to 5 percent, and expand the eligible conditions to include chronic pain and PTSD for the first time. But the measure was narrowed significantly in the Senate and chronic pain was removed and the new THC limit was lowered to 1 percent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veterans, advocates, and doctors say the 1 percent cap on THC is far lower than many who suffer from pain, PTSD, and other ailments actually need. Even the 5 percent allowed in the original House bill is a fraction of what some users say they would need to fully treat symptoms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
