Possession of Medical Marijuana

Possession of medical marijuana actually can be a serious crime in Texas if it is not in accordance with new state laws. While many states across the country have legalized medical marijuana and recreational marijuana, it is still a crime to possess marijuana for medical purposes in the Lone Star State unless prescribed for a number of ailments specific to state laws. While a new state law narrowly expanded to whom can use medical marijuana in Texas in 2019, there are still many restrictions. Medical doctors may prescribe medical marijuana to those suffering from diseases, including autism, ALS, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, terminal cancer and certain seizure disorders. For instance, the new medical marijuana law does not permit possession to ease symptoms for ailments including post-traumatic stress disorder and general pain relief.
