There are several good reasons to start a cannabis business in the US this year. For one thing, there will always be a demand for these products. And for another, it is a great way to give back to your local community. Let\u2019s break this down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Medical marijuana is an increasingly common means for self-medicating discomfort and pain caused by cancer, chronic illnesses, and other complaints that reduce a person\u2019s quality of life and ability to complete day-to-day tasks. Marijuana can alleviate symptoms and give the user a new lease on life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As many of the illnesses treated by medical marijuana are lifelong, the demand for cannabis products will continue and you will never have a shortage of clients. You can be a positive influence in the lives of the people to whom you sell your stock. Medical marijuana can make a massive difference in a person\u2019s life and your business will be a true asset to your community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Texas Compassionate Use Act<\/a> (2015) was passed to allow patients with intractable epilepsy to use low-THC products to alleviate their symptoms. According to the Texas State Law Library, the law now allows medical marijuana use for patients with \u201cepilepsy, a seizure disorder, multiple sclerosis, spasticity, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, autism, cancer, post-traumatic stress disorder [or] an incurable neurodegenerative disease.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Patients with any of these conditions can apply for a medical marijuana card, which allows them to legally purchase, possess and use approved cannabis products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Patients cannot recommend themselves for medical marijuana cards. Instead, they must be referred by a physician qualified to recommend the use of medical marijuana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the physician decides the condition warrants medical marijuana use, they may enroll the patient in the Compassionate Use Registry of Texas (CURT). Anyone who holds a Texas medical marijuana card<\/a> has undergone this process and is now legally allowed to purchase cannabis products from your store. These cards are your green light to sell your products legally and safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, when it comes to your cannabis startup, you can run your business legally by being aware of these regulations and stipulations and only selling to people who have been approved to buy cannabis products. Only selling to cardholders is the best way to protect your startup and make sure you are operating legitimately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This also protects the people in your community, as all of the people buying cannabis will be doing so with the end goal of managing their symptoms, not re-selling.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMedical Marijuana Cards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
