Recreational cannabis sale, cultivation, and manufacturing remain illegal statewide in Texas, so Plano zoning has no district that permits a recreational dispensary. Only state-licensed low-THC medical operators authorized under the Texas Compassionate Use Program may dispense.
Texas has not legalized recreational cannabis. Possession, sale, and cultivation of marijuana for non-medical use remain criminal offenses under Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 481. Plano therefore has no zoning category that permits a recreational dispensary, grow facility, or processor, and any such operation would be unlawful regardless of city permits. The narrow Texas Compassionate Use Program licensed by the Department of Public Safety authorizes a small number of statewide dispensing organizations to provide low-THC medical cannabis to registered patients with qualifying conditions. These dispensing organizations operate under state licensing rather than city retail permits and are not the same as recreational dispensaries seen in other states.
Operating an unlicensed cannabis business in Plano can lead to felony state charges, asset seizure under Chapter 59 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, and city zoning enforcement to shut down the property.
