Texans who have chronic pain and debilitating symptoms of other conditions would be able to access the state’s medical marijuana program under a bill advanced by the Texas House on Tuesday.
” law — which has, in a number of legislative changes since it was created, allowed a growing number of patients in Texas to legally use cannabis to treat debilitating symptoms of conditions such as epilepsy, autism, cancer and post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD.won initial approval Tuesday, and then received a final vote Wednesday, passing 127-19. It now heads to the Senate.
There was no debate on the House floor, nor any vocal opposition in a committee hearing on the bill last month. Several said they knew of other veterans in tremendous pain who were not in the program and for whom opioids were not an option, so they obtained their cannabis through illegal channels. “I’m truly fortunate to have access to legal quality medical cannabis, which has ultimately been the key to bettering my life,” he added.
The change means that patients don’t have to ingest large quantities of oil or other non-THC substances in order to make it legal, which Klick said would reduce gastrointestinal issues in patients and allow them to more efficiently take the treatment. “It makes a lot more sense for the industry, and it’s how all the other markets do it,” Richardson said.
