The Lone Star State’s evolving compassionate medical program is creating a major new revenue stream for brands ready to navigate the landscape. Go big with NBi FlexPack’s flexible packaging solutions designed to help you meet strict dispensary packaging regulations.
What Changed in Texas?
Texas’s Compassionate Use Program (CUP) has broadened the list of qualifying medical conditions to be treated with ingredients such as those in gummies and contents found in custom candy bags. These changes significantly open up the patient base and product development opportunities. Qualified patients can access medical formulations found in these products through state-licensed dispensaries.

Why This Matters to You
For dispensary brands outside of Texas or CBD stores in Texas or elsewhere, this is a golden opportunity for business growth. Texas is ripe for new dispensary entrants with high-quality, medically compliant products.
- First-Move: Establishing brand presence now puts companies ahead of the curve as the state’s infrastructure and consumer base grow.
- Controlled Competition: Texas currently has a limited number of licensed dispensaries and product owners, which means fewer players and more room to give consumers more product choices with added dispensaries and medical supplements.
- Growing Customer Base: With expanded medical conditions now allowed to be treated with dispensary products, demand in this populous state is rising.
With current Texas regulations and limit of ingredients in dispensary products, brand owners who focus on quality formulations and clear medical positioning will have an edge. Formulations for specific medical symptoms will be well-aligned with the expanded list of qualifying conditions.
