No cannabis dispensaries are permitted in Little Elm. Texas authorizes only three Compassionate Use dispensaries statewide for low-THC products.
Cannabis dispensaries are not a permitted or conditional use in any zoning district in Little Elm under Chapter 106 of the zoning ordinance. Texas does not have a recreational marijuana program, so retail cannabis dispensaries do not operate anywhere in the state. The Texas Compassionate Use Act under Health and Safety Code Chapter 487 authorizes a limited number of licensed dispensing organizations to cultivate, process, and dispense low-THC cannabis (containing 0.5 percent THC or less) to patients registered with the Compassionate Use Registry of Texas. As of the current program, only three dispensing organizations are licensed statewide. These facilities are regulated entirely at the state level by the Texas Department of Public Safety. Local zoning authority over Compassionate Use dispensing organization locations is limited by state preemption, though municipalities may regulate them to the extent allowed by state law. No Compassionate Use dispensing organization currently operates in Little Elm or Denton County. Delta-8 THC products derived from hemp are sold at retail locations but are regulated as hemp products under the Texas Department of State Health Services, not as cannabis dispensaries.
