Texas has announced a significant milestone in its medical cannabis landscape with the launch of the state’s first oral syringe containing Rick Simpson Oil (RSO), a new product from Texas Original, the leading medical cannabis provider in the state. Patients will be able to access this product starting in October 2025, marking a critical expansion in the available delivery methods under the Texas Compassionate Use Program (TCUP).
The 0.5-gram oral syringe presents an alternative to traditional cannabis gummies, offering healthcare providers additional options for tailoring treatment plans to meet the individual needs of patients. This enhanced flexibility is expected to improve patient care and treatment efficacy.
The introduction of the RSO syringe follows the recent passage of House Bill 46, which expanded the approved delivery methods in the TCUP. RSO, a full-spectrum extract derived from Texas Original’s proprietary Texas OG strain, is known for containing various beneficial compounds that may work synergistically with THC, potentially enhancing its therapeutic effects.
Nico Richardson, the CEO of Texas Original, stated the company’s commitment to expanding patient access and diversifying product offerings under the improved TCUP. The RSO syringe has been developed with safety and quality at the forefront, ensuring that Texas patients receive a reliable and effective cannabis product.
In conjunction with this product launch, Texas Original is set to open a new 75,000-square-foot headquarters in Bastrop, Texas. This new facility will bolster the company’s capabilities in cultivation, testing, and distribution, further enhancing their ability to serve the growing needs of the patient population.
The expanded TCUP now allows medical cannabis prescriptions for over 150 qualifying conditions, including chronic pain and Crohn’s disease. This change reflects a broader initiative to increase access to medical cannabis for Texans, demonstrating the state’s evolving stance on medical cannabis use.
Texas Original, established in Austin in 2017, has grown to 17 pickup locations across the state. The company prides itself on maintaining strict oversight of its products, ensuring that they are grown, manufactured, and tested entirely within Texas. This focus on local operations has contributed to the company’s recognition as the Best Cannabis Dispensary in the Best of Dallas Readers’ Choice Awards for two consecutive years.
In its effort to improve accessibility, Texas Original is also offering home delivery services to patients living in underserved areas of Texas. Despite current state laws prohibiting smokable cannabis products, Texas Original aims to lead in the rollout of innovative products as regulations evolve to meet the needs of patients.
The company is focused on providing more diverse and higher-quality cannabis products while remaining compliant with the legal restrictions currently in place. As Texas continues to adjust its medical cannabis regulations, Texas Original is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of medical cannabis access in the state.
