Summary
Recreational and medical marijuana dispensaries are prohibited in Allen because Texas does not license them. Only TCUP-licensed low-THC cannabis dispensaries may operate in Texas, and Texas currently licenses only 3 statewide operators, none in Allen.
The Texas Compassionate Use Act (Senate Bill 339) was enacted by the Texas Legislature in 2015 (84th Legislative Session). The bill required DPS create a secure registry of physicians who treat epilepsy. Application and renewal instructions and related information may be found here. Texas operates a tightly regulated state Compassionate Use Program administered by DPS; only licensed dispensaries authorized under the program may legally distribute low-THC cannabis products in Texas.
Full Breakdown
Under the Texas Compassionate Use Program, only low-THC cannabis (0.5 percent THC or less for qualifying conditions) may be dispensed by licensees approved by the Texas Department of Public Safety. The three current licensees (Compassionate Cultivation, Surterra Texas doing business as Goodblend, and Fluent) operate limited pickup locations. Allen has no local zoning specific to cannabis because state law does not permit retail cannabis operations.
