Marijuana

Medical marijuana

Texas allows the use of low-THC products for certain medical purposes, but the law does not contain employment protections for applicants or employees.

Under Texas’s Compassionate Use Program, low-THC products may be used for medical conditions outlined in state law. This includes epilepsy, a seizure disorder, multiple sclerosis, autism, cancer, non-terminal cancer, and post-traumatic stress disorder. It also includes medical conditions designated by the Health and Human Services Commission as part of an approved research program.

Low-THC cannabis is defined as any part of the cannabis plant and any resulting compound, salt, mixture, manufacture, preparation, resin, oil, or derivative that contains a maximum THC level of 1 percent by weight.

The product must be swallowed. It cannot be smoked.
