TYLER \u2013 \u2018Texas Original\u2019 is opening a new medical marijuana pickup location in Tyler this week.<\/p>\nTYLER \u2013 \u2018Texas Original\u2019 is opening a new medical marijuana pickup location in Tyler this week.<\/p>\n
Texas Original, the state\u2019s leading medical cannabis provider, opened their first East Texas store in Nacogdoches in 2022. The new Tyler pick-up site is open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesdays on 11980 State Highway 64. Medical marijuana can be used in Texas to treat 150 conditions. Some of those include: epilepsy, cancer, PTSD and Crohn\u2019s Disease. East Texans can apply for the Compassionate Use Program, which was significantly expanded during the 2025 legislative session. <\/p>\n
Thanks to House Bill 46, Texas Original is ready to grow and they\u2019re opening a new pick-up site in Smith County near the Chapel hill area. The building is currently only used for pick-ups which are on Tuesdays since prescriptions have to be transported from their central facility in Austin ahead of time. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we passed HB 46, the most recent law changes to this program, it really helped to provide better access to patients as well as provide new products that they\u2019re able to purchase within the program,\u201d Richardson said.<\/p>\n
Under HB 46, Texas Original will also be applying for its new Tyler and Nacogdoches locations to be satellite locations, which would allow for same day pickup. <\/p>\n
\u201cEssentially, this would allow us to store inventory overnight, which basically just means patients can come and pick up the same day as if it were a pharmacy.\u201d Richardson explains. <\/p>\n
The compassionate use program currently has about 14,000 patients statewide. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
