What Is the Cost of a Medical Marijuana Card in Texas in 2025?
In 2025, Texas has a limited medical marijuana program known as the Compassionate Use Program (CUP). This program allows patients with certain qualifying conditions to access low-THC cannabis products (containing no more than 1% THC) prescribed by registered physicians. However, Texas does not currently issue medical marijuana cards like many other states with more comprehensive programs.
Under the current regulations, there are no state-issued medical marijuana cards or associated registration fees in Texas. Instead, patients who qualify for the Compassionate Use Program receive a prescription from a registered physician, which they can then fill at one of the licensed dispensaries in the state.
The main cost for patients in Texas’ program is the consultation fee charged by the registered physician for the evaluation and prescription. These fees can vary depending on the physician and the location, but they typically range from $200 to $300.
It’s important to note that the Texas Compassionate Use Program is still quite limited compared to medical marijuana programs in many other states, both in terms of qualifying conditions and the types of products available.
For the most up-to-date information on Texas’ Compassionate Use Program and any associated costs, I recommend checking with the Texas Department of Public Safety or local medical marijuana advocacy organizations.
