5 Easy Steps to Fill Your Rx From a Medical Marijuana Doctor Texas Trusts
5 Easy Steps to Fill Your Medical Cannabis Prescription
If you just got your recommendation from a medical marijuana doctor Texas patients rely on – congratulations! You’re now officially entered in the Compassionate Use Program Texas (CUP) and ready to purchase legal medical cannabis. Below is a clear, five-step roadmap to take you from “approved” to “product in hand,” with pro tips on IDs, deliveries, and the upcoming HB 46 Texas medical marijuana expansion.
Step 1 – Choose Your Licensed Texas Dispensary
Texas currently authorizes three statewide dispensaries. All accept online orders or phone orders. They will ask for your name, date of birth, and last 5-digits of your social (unless you were given a special 5-digit number from your doctor) to verify your Texas medical marijuana prescription inside the CUP database.

Step 2 – Browse Products & Check Ratios
You’ll see labels such as 20 : 1 CBD : THC or 2 : 1 CBN : THC. Texas rules list the least-psychoactive cannabinoid first compared to THC. Need help understanding ratios, check out our patient learning resource on ratio. Need more details on condition-specific ratios or unsure what ratio fits autism versus seizures or traditional dosing versus micro-dosing, then download our Texas Medical Cannabis Product Guide for quick charts.
Step 3 – Place Your Order & Choose Pick Delivery or Pickup
Online checkout: Add items to cart → choose delivery or pickup.
Phone in order, if you prefer to talk to the dispensary.: Give your DOB and last 5-digits of social, so the pharmacist can find your CUP entry.
Delivery: You or an authorized representative listed on your Compassionate Use Registry of Texas entry must sign in person. Fees vary by dispensary.
Pickup: Select your slot, then watch for a confirmation email or text.
Good to know: Delivery is expanding rapidly. More routes are expected after HB 46 takes effect on September 1, 2025—so rural patients may see lower fees soon.
Step 4 – What to Bring on Pickup Day (No Card Required)
Texas does not issue a physical medical marijuana card. All you need is:
Government-issued photo ID (driver’s license, passport, or state ID).
Order confirmation on your phone (optional, but speeds up service).
If a caregiver is picking up, the caregiver’s ID must match the name entered in CUP by your telehealth cannabis doctor Texas.
Arrive at the dispensary as scheduled. Staff will verify your ID, confirm your prescription, and hand over your products—usually in under five minutes.
Step 5 – Download Your Guide & Watch for HB 46 Updates
Before that first dose, grab the free PDF:
⬇️ Download the Texas Medical Cannabis Product Guide—covers food pairings, micro-dosing, and product suggestions for pain, anxiety, and sleep.
Why download? HB 46 will allow new dispensary organizations and more product types after September 1, 2025. The guide’s monthly addendum keeps you ahead of those changes.

| Can I split an order across two dispensaries? | Yes. Your CUP entry can be used at any or all of the state-licensed medical cannabis dispensary organizations. |
