Texas CUP Basics—No “Card” Required

Understanding the CURT System

Texas operates under a unique medical cannabis framework. Rather than issuing medical marijuana cards, the state uses a digital registry—CURT (Compassionate Use Registry of Texas)—to verify prescriptions.

How It Works

1. Book a telehealth visit through Floweret MD.
2. If eligible, your prescription is entered into CURT in real-time.
3. Place your order with a licensed Texas dispensary using your name, date of birth, and last 5 digits of your SSN.

Key Benefits of a Card-Free System

• No delays from lost or expired cards.
• Digital updates are immediate.
• No card renewal fees or mailing costs.
• Law enforcement and dispensaries can verify legitimacy instantly.

Common Myths—Debunked

• “Texas is getting physical cards soon.” No such provision exists in the current legislation.
• “I need documentation for police.” Not required, but we provide a letter of verification for added confidence.
• “Dispensaries are pharmacies.” They are licensed by the Texas Department of Public Safety—not the state pharmacy board.

Summary

Texas keeps it digital—and so do we. If you’re unsure whether you qualify, schedule a risk-free tele-visit today. Let’s talk about it.
