Texas does not permit recreational cannabis dispensaries. The Compassionate Use Program (CUP) allows a very limited number of licensed dispensing organizations to operate statewide, regulated by the Texas Department of Public Safety. Fort Worth's Zoning Ordinance does not include a use category for cannabis dispensaries. Any future CUP dispensary would need to comply with state licensing requirements and applicable local zoning for retail or pharmacy uses.
Fort Worth prohibits cannabis dispensaries and retail sales. State law does not authorize the sale of marijuana for any purpose. Unauthorized cannabis sales operations face criminal prosecution including felony charges for distribution. CBD products derived from hemp with less than 0.3% THC may be sold through regular retail channels.
Any cannabis sales: felony charges. Distribution penalties vary by quantity. Property used for sales may be subject to forfeiture.
