What are Texas' qualifying conditions?
Each state has its own set of “qualifying conditions” for medical cannabis, and some don’t require medical proof that you have it.
If you don’t see your condition listed, you may still qualify under a related condition or symptom. And there’s no risk to you: if you aren’t approved by your NuggMD practitioner, you get your money back.
Take our free quiz to find out if you’re likely to qualify.

FAQs About Medical Cannabis in Texas
Yes, Texas residents can get approved for medical cannabis online. You meet virtually with a physician registered with the state’s Compassionate Use Program (CUP). If the physician determines you qualify, they’ll enter your cannabis prescription into the Compassionate Use Registry of Texas (CURT).
The state doesn’t issue a physical med card. Instead, dispensaries verify your patient status directly through CURT, allowing for medical cannabis access within hours of being approved. A NuggMD medical cannabis evaluation in Texas is $98.
Patients must meet three requirements to qualify for a medical marijuana prescription in Texas:
- You must be a Texas resident with a valid government-issued ID.

- You must be approved by a state-licensed physician registered under the Texas Compassionate Use Program.

With NuggMD, you get your money back if you aren’t approved. For any other questions about NuggMD’s refund policy, contact our customer care team for support. Once a refund has been initiated, please allow 3-5 business days for the funds to transfer back to the card you used for the transaction.
Many Texas medical cannabis patients get certified the same day. Once you’re approved, your doctor will enter your info in CURT, and you can shop at a licensed dispensary immediately. Texas does not issue physical med cards.
Some patients have reported the state can take up to 1-week to make their prescription accessible by dispensaries even after the doctor enters it into the CURT system. If you experience a delay, please contact NuggMD’s customer service and we’ll have the doctor check your entry with the state.
