I agree that effectively a policy this restrained is basically no medical program at all, if that’s what you’re saying.

But they do technically have a medical program? https://www.texas.gov/health-services/texas-medical-marijuana/

~~Oh, I'll be damned. You're right! They started that medical program in 2015. Is it more restrained than other states?~~

Oh wait, I remember this program now; this is the CBD tincture for kids with epilepsy. It's not medical THC; it's a medical CBD program.
