How to Qualify for Medical Cannabis in Texas Under HB46
Introduction
The passage of House Bill 46 (HB46) has created new opportunities for Texans to access medical cannabis. For many patients, this law means relief is finally within reach. At Thrive Medical Cannabis, we specialize in guiding patients through the process of determining eligibility, securing prescriptions, and receiving the care they deserve.
This blog explains what HB46 is, who qualifies, and how to get started with confidence.
What is HB46?
HB46 expanded Texas’ Compassionate Use Program (CUP) to include more qualifying conditions.
Previously, eligibility was limited to a narrow set of diagnoses such as epilepsy and multiple sclerosis.
HB46 adds conditions like PTSD, chronic pain, cancer, and neurological disorders, broadening access for thousands of Texans.
Who Qualifies Under HB46?
You may qualify if you have a diagnosis such as:
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Chronic pain that has not responded to traditional treatment
Epilepsy or seizure disorders
Cancer (all stages)
Autism spectrum disorder
Neurological conditions like ALS, Parkinson’s, or MS
Our clinicians at Thrive carefully review each patient’s diagnosis and medical history to confirm eligibility.
