Lawmakers also increased the allowable level of THC, the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis. But not by much.

Gov. Abbott is expected to sign HB 1535, which increases slightly the amount of THC allowed in medical marijuana and adds more medical conditions to the eligibility list for the program.

As the Texas House of Representatives wraps up hearings on the last of its bills, some pieces of legislation slipped through the cracks — barely receiving a committee hearing.

House Bill 1535 would make people with all forms of cancer and veterans suffering with post traumatic stress disorder eligible for the Texas Compassionate Use Registry.
