Medical cannabis producer Texas Original has voiced its support for Texas Senate Bill 1505, which seeks to enhance patient access to medical cannabis. The bill would specifically permit the use of aerosol and vapor delivery methods for low-THC cannabis when medically necessary.

“These medical products offer immediate relief, which is critical for patients with episodic conditions such as PTSD,” the company stated.

Introduced as an amendment to the Texas Compassionate Use Program (CUP), the bill was reviewed by the Senate Committee on State Affairs on March 3.

“Senate Bill 1505 proposes crucial improvements to the Compassionate Use Program that will benefit patients throughout the state,” said Nico Richardson, CEO of Texas Original. “We are grateful to Senator Charles Perry for his meaningful amendments. These changes will make the program more accessible and bring relief to the patients who rely on it for their medical care.”

Beyond expanding administration methods, the bill would also allow for satellite locations where medical cannabis could be stored. The change aims to increase accessibility, reduce costs for patients, and standardize THC dosing by milligrams instead of weight, aligning it with other prescription medications.
