Support Medical Freedom – Urge the House Public Health Committee to Pass HB 46

Posted by · April 10, 2025

Texans deserve the right to choose the medical treatments that work best for them. HB 46 would expand access to low-THC cannabis through the Texas Compassionate-Use Program, offering relief to patients with serious conditions while respecting the doctor-patient relationship.

This bill streamlines licensing for dispensaries, ensures equitable access across the state, and protects patients from unnecessary local restrictions. It’s a clear step toward medical freedom and away from outdated prohibition policies.
