Frequently Asked Questions
Is a Texas medical marijuana prescription the same as a physical medical card?
Texas uses the Compassionate Use Registry of Texas rather than the conventional physical-card model used in many states. A qualified physician enters an eligible patient in the registry, and a licensed dispensing organization verifies that registration.
Does medical cannabis evidence support every product or condition?
No. Evidence varies by condition, cannabinoid, dose, and route of administration. CannaWize distinguishes supported uses from early or uncertain findings and does not treat retail marketing claims as clinical evidence.
Why does affordable medical cannabis access matter?
A treatment is not meaningfully accessible if qualified patients cannot afford the consultation, product, travel, or recurring care. We cover price and availability alongside evidence because cost and geography shape real patient access.
Should I discuss cannabis with a clinician?
Yes, especially if you take other medicines, are pregnant or breastfeeding, have cardiovascular or mental-health concerns, or are considering cannabis for a serious condition. A clinician can help assess interactions, risks, and reasonable treatment goals.
