Traveling with medical cannabis across state lines is generally prohibited. Check state laws and regulations before attempting to travel with medical cannabis.

Medical cannabis requires a doctor's recommendation and often comes with benefits like lower taxes, higher possession limits, and access to stronger products. Recreational use is available only in certain states without medical requirements.

Most medical marijuana cards last about 12 months and must be renewed before they expire so you keep legal access. Start 30 to 45 days before expiration, complete a follow-up consultation with a licensed physician, then submit the updated recommendation to your state program. Requirements vary by state. Texas patients renew through the Compassionate Use Registry of Texas (CURT). You can renew your medical marijuana card online with LeafyRX.
