Full Breakdown
Texas does not legalize commercial marijuana sales. The only lawful cannabis-related dispensaries are licensed dispensing organizations under the Texas Compassionate Use Program (TCUP) administered by DPS, which sell low-THC cannabis (under 1% THC) by prescription to registered patients with qualifying conditions. Statewide, only a handful of TCUP dispensing organizations are licensed, and none are located in Cedar Hill. Local zoning cannot authorize what state law prohibits, so Cedar Hill's UDC contains no provisions for recreational dispensaries. Hemp and CBD retailers selling products with under 0.3% Delta-9 THC are regulated under Tex. Health & Safety Code Chapter 443 and are permitted as standard retail uses subject to zoning.
