Texas Expands Medical Marijuana Program: New Conditions, Dispensaries, and Competition Texas has finally expanded its medical marijuana program, adding new qualifying conditions like chronic pain, Crohns disease, traumatic brain injury, and terminal illness. The program now allows higher THC levels, inhalers, and more dispensaries statewide, with the number of distributors tripling from three to fifteen. This expansion has led to a thirty-two percent increase in patient enrollment, with over one hundred thirty-five thousand patients by the end of next year. Current companies are ramping up production and opening satellite storage spots for faster, cheaper delivery. Nine new businesses have received conditional licenses, with final approvals coming soon. Prices are expected to drop as competition grows. However, the main challenge is the limited number of registered doctors, with only eight hundred of Texass eighty thousand physicians currently registered to prescribe.
