Overview
In Edinburg, Texas, the use of medical cannabis is legal under very specific conditions. The Texas Compassionate Use Act allows patients with intractable epilepsy to use low-THC cannabis oil as a form of treatment. However, the recreational use of cannabis is still illegal and carries heavy penalties.
Regarding related substances such as Delta 8, Delta 9, THCA, and CBD, the laws are a bit more complex. Delta 8, a less potent cousin of Delta 9 THC, is legal under federal law but is considered illegal by some state laws. Delta 9 THC is the main psychoactive component in cannabis and is illegal in Texas, however is legal when derived from the hemp plant. THCA is a non-psychoactive precursor to THC and its legality is unclear. CBD, on the other hand, is legal in Texas as long as it contains less than 0.3% THC.
