Full Breakdown
Mansfield does not permit recreational cannabis dispensaries because Texas has not legalized recreational marijuana. Under Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 481, the manufacture, delivery, possession, and sale of marijuana remain criminal offenses, and no municipality in Texas can authorize recreational dispensaries regardless of local preferences. The only lawful cannabis dispensing in Texas is through the Texas Compassionate Use Program (CUP), authorized under Texas Occupations Code Chapter 169 and Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 487, which allows licensed dispensing organizations to dispense low-THC cannabis (generally 1 percent or less delta-9 THC) by prescription to patients with qualifying conditions such as epilepsy, autism, cancer, and PTSD.
The Texas Department of Public Safety licenses the limited number of CUP dispensing organizations, and as of this writing none are located in Mansfield. 3 percent delta-9 THC may be sold under Texas Agriculture Code Chapter 122 and Health and Safety Code Chapter 443 at ordinary retail, and such retailers are subject to standard Mansfield commercial zoning rules.
