Texas medical cannabis cultivator and dispensary has first harvest
*Clarification appended
In 2015, the Texas Compassionate Use Act was passed. It legalized oils containing CBD, a non-euphoric component of marijuana known to treat epilepsy and other chronic medical conditions. Recently, Compassionate Cultivation, a state-licensed medical cannabis cultivator and dispensary, harvested its first crop of medical cannabis. The state will regulate and distribute the oils to patients whose symptoms have not responded to federally approved medication.
Clarification: This video was updated to refer to Compassionate Cultivation as one of the first Texas-licensed medical cannabis cultivators and dispensaries.
