In Texas, the use or possession of marijuana is still illegal, except for patients enrolled in the state’s Compassionate Use Program, which allows residents with specific health conditions to access cannabis oil with less than 1% by weight of THC.
The CannaBus"Ride For Your Rights" statewide tour stopped in San Antonio Wednesday to raise awareness around Texas' medical marijuana program.Tucked into a tiny industrial park just off of Bulverde Road is a small compound where several local companies purvey their various cannabis-related wares.
It’s here that the 36-foot-long CannaBus, Texas’ first mobile marijuana dispensary, parked Wednesday as a part of its statewide “Ride For Your Rights” tour., a subsidiary of parent company Parallel and one of only three medical cannabis operators licensed to operate in Texas. Their statewide tour kicked off earlier this month and aims to bring cannabis education and awareness to Texans across the state, said Terrence Baugh, goodblend patient advocate and spokesman.
He said only about 17% of Texans know that Texas has a medical marijuana program, Baugh said. “Under the state’s, there are more than 150 conditions that legally qualify for medical marijuana use.” While the tour doesn’t advocate for any political candidates, Baugh noted its timing ahead of midterm elections — early voting begins Oct. 24 — and encouraged Texans to talk to their legislators about supporting greater access to cannabis so “more people can have that as an option” as part of their medical treatment.
The medical cannabis program will never change unless Texans stand up and demand it change, Reece Fulgham, the CEO of Parallel“The ‘Ride For Your Rights’ CannaBus Tour was designed to educate and galvanize support for expanding access to Texans in need. We hope the support rallied will convince Texas policymakers that there’s strong public demand for real, lasting change.
