Full Breakdown

Texas law prohibits recreational cannabis sales entirely. The Texas Compassionate Use Act (HB 3703, 2019) allows only three licensed dispensaries statewide to sell low-THC cannabis oil (containing no more than 1% THC by weight) to patients with qualifying conditions including epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, spasticity, autism, and terminal cancer. These dispensaries operate under strict state licensing, not local zoning authority. League City's zoning regulations in Chapter 125 do not include any provisions for cannabis-related businesses. CBD products derived from hemp (containing less than 0.3% THC) are legal under the 2018 Farm Bill and may be sold at retail locations zoned for general commercial use.

Violations & Fines

Operating an unlicensed cannabis dispensary: felony under Texas law. Manufacturing, delivery, and possession with intent to distribute carry state prison sentences and substantial fines.
