Overview
In San Marcos, Texas, the use of medical cannabis is legal under the Texas Compassionate Use Act, which allows patients with certain qualifying conditions to use low-THC cannabis products. However, the recreational use of cannabis is still illegal in Texas, including in San Marcos. Violation of these laws can lead to penalties ranging from fines to imprisonment, depending on the amount of cannabis involved and the nature of the offense.
In terms of related substances, Delta 8, Delta 9, THCA, and CBD, the laws are a bit more complex. Delta 8 and Delta 9 are forms of THC and are currently legal in Texas when derived from the hemp plant. THCA, or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, is a precursor to THC and is also regulated under the same laws. CBD, or cannabidiol, is legal in Texas as long as it contains less than 0.3% THC. Products containing CBD are widely available in San Marcos and throughout the state.
