Programme status
Medical only — the low-THC Compassionate Use Programme (TCUP) under Health & Safety Code ch. 487. Dispensing live since February 2018. HB 46 (2025) expands the programme from three to fifteen dispensing-organisation licences.
What is not published
- No sales figures in dollars, weight or units.
- The published series is a patient count and a physician count, as PDFs.
- The physician PDF was never text-extracted during research — its layout is assumed from the parallel patient file.
Why there is no page here
A page whose only content is a patient count is a row in a table, not a page.
A label that does not mean what it says
DPS labels a LIFETIME CUMULATIVE count 'Active Patient Count', in a document whose own footnote says otherwise. Anyone building this state must read the footnote before the header, or they will publish a stock figure that only ever rises and call it active patients.
Why this page exists at all
Every US cannabis jurisdiction gets an entry on this site, including the ones with nothing to chart. A jurisdiction that is simply missing looks like an oversight; a jurisdiction whose absence is stated, sourced and dated is a finding. This site is a record of what governments publish, and that record has to include what they do not.
Nothing on this page is an estimate. Where a figure exists in press coverage, a law-firm summary or budget testimony but not in a published government artifact, it is named as unusable rather than repeated.
