The answer is yes, according to Texas state law<\/a> \u2014 but only if it comes from hemp, not marijuana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Texas hasn\u2019t legalized medical marijuana yet, so Houstonians are still prohibited from using marijuana for medical purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, if you’re diagnosed with one of the state\u2019s qualifying medical conditions<\/a>, you\u2019re allowed access to marijuana-derived CBD with a THC content of up to 0.5%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The qualifying medical conditions include incurable neurodegenerative diseases, intractable epilepsy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis, seizure disorders, autism, and terminal cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Texas, although it allows marijuana-derived CBD, has one of the most restrictive marijuana laws in the country with its low THC limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As for hemp-derived CBD, it became available to Houston residents when the 2018 Farm Bill<\/a> became law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to federal law, all parts of industrial hemp are now legal, including its stalks, leaves, flowers, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, and derivatives. It\u2019s now federally legal to grow, cultivate, and process industrial hemp, as long as its THC level doesn’t exceed 0.3%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This law gives access to hemp-derived CBD products, including CBD oil. It also doesn’t impose any age or possession restrictions, so anyone can legally buy over-the-counter, hemp-derived CBD, as long as the THC content doesn’t go above 0.3% THC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2019, Governor Greg Abbott approved HB 1325<\/a>, aligning state laws with federal laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCBD Laws in the United States: Find CBD Near You<\/h4>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t
