How to obtain access to Medical Marijuana

Schedule an Appointment

Your first visit with the physician will focus on assessing your suitability for a prescription. Following an evaluation of your symptoms, we’ll tailor a personalized treatment strategy to address your individual requirements.

Order From Us

After confirming eligibility, the provider will input the patient’s information into the Compassionate Use Registry of Texas (CURT) Registry. Subsequently, we facilitate a smooth transition to the dispensary, where one of their representatives will directly assist in fulfilling the prescription.

Follow-Up Visits

To maintain an active prescription, it’s essential to stay connected with us. Our prescription is valid for six months and is designed to cover the patient’s needs within that time frame.
