The bipartisan legislation is an expansion on the state’s 2015 “Compassionate Use” law, which has allowed a growing number of patients to legally use cannabis to treat debilitating symptoms of conditions such as epilepsy, autism, cancer and PTSD.
” 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.passed the chamber Tuesday on a preliminary vote of 121-23 and is expected to get final approval on Wednesday before heading to a Senate committee.
There was no debate on the House floor, nor any vocal opposition in a committee hearing on the bill last month. During a March 13 public hearing before the House Public Health Committee, military veterans told lawmakers how medical marijuana had helped them overcome both trauma and pain since they were able to access it under the Compassionate Use Program.
McKim said as a result of taking medical cannabis, he has been able to sleep soundly for the first time in decades and his alcohol abuse has stopped completely. Veteran Elizabeth Miller told committee members that she appreciates the proposal in the legislation that would change how THC is measured, from 1% of volume to 10 mg per dose because she has a hard time ingesting the other ingredients in tinctures and gummies.
By allowing a single dose of medical cannabis to reach 10 milligrams, as Klick’s bill does, it opens the door to other delivery systems such as sublinguals, which can be absorbed under the tongue, as well as creams, sprays, patches and suppositories, Richardson said.
