SB 928 seeks to expand the Texas Compassionate Use Program by modifying the definition of low-THC cannabis, increasing the allowable concentration from one percent by weight to 10 milligrams per dosage unit. It also broadens the list of qualifying medical conditions to include chronic pain for which opioids would otherwise be prescribed, as well as conditions approved under state research programs. The bill provides legal protections for patients, caregivers, and dispensing organizations involved in the acquisition and delivery of low-THC cannabis. Additionally, it outlines penalties for offenses related to the unauthorized possession and distribution of low-THC cannabis.
