What are the advantages of having a medical card for marijuana in Texas?

After your evaluation, if you qualify, our office will provide you with a signed approval letter from your physician to present to any member of law enforcement. This approval letter gives you lawful protection while using your medicine.

Can I travel with my prescribed medical marijuana product?

What is the difference between medical marijuana and Delta-8 THC?

The difference between medical marijuana and Delta-8 THC is the amount of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) they both contain. THC is the psychoactive substance in cannabis plants. Medical marijuana products are derived from the marijuana plant, which contains 0.3% or more THC, and which you need a prescription to purchase. Delta-8 is typically sourced from hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD), which contains less than 0.3% THC, and can be bought without a prescription. Marijuana and hemp are both different species of the Cannabis sativa plant.

At Texas 420 Doctors, we offer a range of hemp-derived Delta-8 and CBD products that you may purchase without a prescription.

What is the difference between medical marijuana and CBD?

Medical marijuana and CBD are both derivatives of the cannabis plant. Medical marijuana products contain a higher amount of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) than CBD products, which contain little to no THC. THC is the psychoactive substance found in cannabis that creates a “high.” You need a doctor’s prescription to buy medical marijuana, while hemp-derived CBD products can typically be bought over the counter. We offer a range of non-prescription CBD products that you can incorporate into your daily routine.
