Relating to authorizing the possession, use, cultivation, distribution, delivery, sale, and research of medical cannabis for medical use by patients with certain medical conditions and the licensing of medical cannabis organizations; authorizing a fee.
SB 734 expands Texas' medical cannabis program to allow licensed organizations to provide full medical cannabis (not just low-THC) for patients with qualifying medical conditions. It establishes licensing requirements for medical cannabis organizations, sets a three-month supply limit for patients (obtained only from licensed providers), and creates legal protections. Key provisions include shielding patients and providers from arrest, denial of rights (like child custody), or property seizure for authorized medical use, and preventing presumptions of child abuse based on medical cannabis use. The bill directly affects patients with qualifying conditions, their caregivers, and licensed cannabis organizations operating under the new framework.
