Texas’ First 30mg Medical Marijuana Gummy
Recently, the cannabis brand Texas Original pioneered a potency milestone for medical cannabis edibles in the state, releasing the first, 30mg, THC-only medical gummy. Texas’ Original’s 0:1 30mg Medical Gummies contain 30mg THC per piece and 0 CBD, and represent one of the most potent edibles ever to hit Texas Dispensary shelves. Now, any patient registered with the state’s Compassionate Use Program can purchase high-potency, 30mg gummies at valid dispensary locations.
At 30mg, Texas’ new high-potency gummies are far more potent than medical marijuana programs in other states typically allow–the state of Florida, for instance, limits edible potency to just 10mg per piece. In Texas, however, medical marijuana patients can transcend these limits with Texas Original’s new product release, offered in blueberry-lemonade flavoring for a great tasting, powerful dose of relief.
But you may be wondering: how is Texas Original able to provide such a high potency per piece? How does the potency of Texas’ first 30mg gummies compare to the potency of other edibles sold in Texas, or in medical dispensaries in other states? How can you purchase Texas’ first 30mg edible, and what can you expect from its effects? In this article, we address top patient questions and concerns regarding this statewide breakthrough in high-potency edible cannabis.
Medical Gummies in Texas: Legality & Qualifying Conditions
This new 30mg gummy represents a potency milestone for Texans, since states typically limit how much THC edibles can contain–in Florida, for instance, gummies are limited to just 10mg per piece.
Medical marijuana edibles were legalized in Texas in 2015 under the Compassionate Use Program, Texas’ official medical cannabis program, which accommodates the needs of patients with over 150 qualifying conditions, including:
- PTSD
- Cancer
- Neuropathy
- Muscle Spasms
- ALS
- Autism
- Cerebral Palsy
- CTE
- Epilepsy
- MS
- Alzheimer’s Disease
- Dementia
- Seizures
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Huntington’s Disease
- And over 100 other, incurable neurodegenerative conditions.
Gummy Potency & The Compassionate Care Act: A History of Edible Potency under Texas Law
When the Compassionate Care Act was introduced in 2015, it limited allowable THC concentrations to 0.5% of the total weight of a cannabis product–including edibles.
In 2021, however, the Compassionate Use Program expanded, increasing this limit to 1%. Ever since, brands have been able to adjust potency by weight: a 1 or 2 gram edible, for instance, can contain up to 10 or 20 milligrams of THC, respectively.
This extension has opened new avenues for brands such as Texas Original to innovate in terms of potency and product format, leading to the introduction of the new, 0:1 30mg Blueberry Lemonade Gummy.
Introducing Texas’ First THC-Only, 30 mg Medical Gummy
In addition to a sky-high concentration of 30mg, Texas Original has amplified the potency of its medical gummies by removing all traces of CBD from their edible formulation (hence the 0:1 CBD:THC ratio). Moderate concentrations of CBD typically dampen the psychoactive effects, or “high,” of cannabis products, so Texas Original’s THC-only formulation gives its Blueberry Lemonade gummies an extra potency punch. With 15 gummies per container, each jar of 0:1 gummies allows Texans to bring home a total of 450mg THC with a single product purchase.
In addition to providing potent therapeutic benefits, Texas’ new 30mg gummies are diet-friendly for patients who prefer vegan, gluten-free edible options created without the use of artificial flavors or dyes.
Edibles 101: A Guide to Texas’ New 30mg Prescription Gummies
Edibles provide medical marijuana patients with a convenient, precise, and discreet dosing option, making it easy to achieve your desired benefits on-the-go, and to track how much THC you’re taking.
Compared to other product formats, edibles tend to provide a slower onset and a longer duration of effects. According to Texas Original, these new prescription THC-gummies kick in within about 30 to 90 minutes of ingestion, and provide effects lasting between 4 to 8 hours.
