Workers at approved cannabis supplier Texas Original Compassionate Cultivation examine harvested buds.
According to the Regulatory Services Division of the Texas Department of Public Safety, which oversees medical cannabis for the state, there were 22,221 patients registered for the program in March, up from fewer than 5,000 a year prior. Those numbers are expected to grow, but without a retail-like dispensary system found in other states, it takes some work to go from diagnosis to receiving the medication.
Staff at a partner clinic will review the patient's medical records and see if there's anything that would qualify them for a prescription. For example, a person with diabetes might be eligible because of foot pain from neuropathy or qualify for treatment of spasticity because of a previous prescription for muscle relaxants.
People with schizophrenia, which could worsen with cannabis, aren't eligible. Also, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding babies can't get a prescription because it's unknown what effect the cannabis could have on the unborn, and THC concentrates by about 40 times in breast milk.A physician with a specialty in cannabis sees the patient to figure out the best route to take for their ailment, then enters the patient's name with a state registry.
