Texas HB1146 allows physicians to prescribe low-THC cannabis to patients with specific medical conditions.

HB1146 amends the Texas Occupations Code to allow physicians to prescribe low-THC cannabis to patients diagnosed with conditions such as epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and cancer. The bill specifies that the cannabis must contain no more than 10 milligrams of tetrahydrocannabinols per dosage unit. To prescribe, physicians must be registered and certify that the patient's condition qualifies and that the benefits outweigh the risks. The Department of State Health Services can designate additional debilitating conditions for which low-THC cannabis may be prescribed.
