Dallas has no recreational cannabis dispensary buffer-zone rules because Texas does not allow recreational dispensaries. Compassionate Use Program (CUP) sites operate statewide with no school or daycare buffer mandate in state law; Dallas zoning treats CUP sites as ordinary medical uses.
Cannabis buffer zones in legalization states typically require dispensaries to sit 500 to 1,000 feet from schools, daycares, churches, or parks. Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 487 governing the Compassionate Use Program does not impose statewide sensitive-use buffers on the three licensed dispensing organizations, since they operate as low-volume medical providers, not retail storefronts. Dallas City Code Chapter 51A development standards regulate medical and pharmacy uses generically without cannabis-specific buffers. With no recreational dispensary framework legal in Texas, Dallas City Council cannot adopt buffer rules for storefronts that do not exist. CBD-only retailers selling hemp products under Texas Agriculture Code Chapter 122 face standard commercial zoning rules with no buffer mandate.
Not applicable. Without recreational dispensaries, no buffer-zone enforcement mechanism exists. CBD retailers face standard zoning enforcement under Dallas Code Ch. 51A administrative procedures.
