How much does a prescription cost? 

Costs at the pharmacy or dispensary vary by patient, insurance, and prescription. At little leaf, we write prescriptions though all our memberships. The price of medication monitoring varies depending on membership and does not include the in-hand medication itself. Free members do not qualify for THC prescription monitoring but may qualify for other traditional prescriptions such as depression medication or blood pressure medication for $20 per month per medication.  Green, Standard, and Ultimate memberships includes THC prescription at no additional cost. If Green members desire to add on an additional medication such as depression or blood pressure medication, then they will be charged $20 per month per medication in addition to their membership subscription. Standard members can qualify for regular fills of one traditional medication (e.g. depression or blood pressure medication) at no extra cost. Ultimate members can qualify up to monthly refills of 5 different traditional medications (e.g. depression or blood pressure medication) at no extra cost.

​​

Will participation as a patient in the Compassionate Use Program (CUP) affect my eligibility for a Texas License to Carry a Handgun?

A patient’s participation in CUP does not, in itself, disqualify the individual from obtaining or maintaining a License to Carry (LTC).  Notwithstanding that certain medical marijuana programs have been determined by the FBI to disqualify an individual from possessing firearms, the department does not believe this determination applies to Texas’ low-THC cannabis, Compassionate Use Program.

However, the individual’s underlying condition that is the basis for participation in CUP may under certain circumstances be disqualifying. If the medical condition potentially affects the individual’s ability to exercise sound judgment, the department may refer the matter to the Medical Advisory Board (DSHS) for their review and recommendation. Should the Board find the individual “incapable of exercising sound judgment with respect to the proper use and storage of a handgun,” the department would deny an application or revoke a current LTC.
