HB 46 Texas Medical Marijuana Expansion Greenlight

👀 House Bill 46 Approved!

On June 20 2025, Gov. Greg Abbott signed HB 46—the most sweeping medical marijuana overhaul since the Compassionate Use Program (CUP) began in 2015. HB 46 Texas medical marijuana expansion:

• Adds chronic pain, traumatic brain injury (TBI), Crohn’s/IBD, and hospice care to the qualifying list.

• Raises licenses from 3 → 15 and lets dispensaries open satellite pick-up locations in every public-health region of Texas.

• Expands products to patches, lotions, suppositories, metered inhalers, nebulizers and vape devices (still no raw flower).

• Sets dosing based on milligrams as opposed to percentage of weight, allowing for safer dosing scheduled.

• Extends prescriptions to 90 days + 4 refills (≈ 1 year of medicine).

• Blocks cities or counties from banning CUP products, possessions, cultivation, and dispensaries. “A municipality, county, or other political subdivision may not enact, adopt, or enforce a rule, ordinance, order, resolution, or other regulation that prohibits the cultivation, production, storage, dispensing, or possession of low-THC cannabis.” HB46

💡 HB 46 Texas Medical Marijuana Expansion

HB 46 does exactly what patients and physicians have asked for: more conditions, more dispensaries, stronger formulations, fewer renewals. This expansion gives Texans a safer, doctor-guided alternative to untested delta-8 products. Floweret MD applauds lawmakers for striking a balance between access and oversight.
