This is the best summary I could come up with:
Customers will receive a free doctor’s appointment and, if they qualify, Texas Original will cover the prescription cost.
In Texas, medical cannabis is only available to people with doctor-certified debilitating conditions such as epilepsy, multiple sclerosis and cancer.
The Austin-based company’s unique promotion is intended to create an entry point for those who can benefit from the state’s compassionate use program, said Texas Original CEO Nico Richardson.
The Hurst pickup location at 760 Airport Freeway, Suite 300 D, is the company’s sixth in Dallas-Fort Worth.
Because smoking marijuana in Texas is illegal for recreational or medical reasons, patients can only buy capsules, oils, topical creams and patches.
This year, legislation like House Bill 1805 would have given Texans with other chronic pain conditions access to medicinal cannabis, but it failed to pass the Senate despite support from Republicans and Democrats.
