As previously mentioned by someone...could also be Texas.

AUSTIN — More Texans could access the state’s medical marijuana program under a bill that passed in the Texas House on Wednesday.

The proposal by Fort Worth GOP Rep. Stephanie Klick adds more medical conditions that fall under the state’s Compassionate Use Program to include patients who suffer from chronic pain. It also increases the amount of THC — the substance in marijuana that produces a high — allowed.

The House approved the bill on a 127-19 vote. The bill now heads to the Senate.

Aside from adding more medical conditions to the program, the bill increases the amount of THC to 10 milligrams per dosage unit. The limit is currently 1% by weight.

The application window runs until April 28. The agency, however, will not make a decision to approve any application until after the session concludes, in case the Legislature passes bills that expand the program.
