Texas Original Compassionate Cultivation Announces Medical Cannabis Discount for Qualifying Military and First RespondersTexas Original Compassionate Cultivation (TOCC), Texas' leading medical cannabis provider, announced it will offer a 20 percent discount on its medicine to military and first responders on the heels of this month's expansion of the Texas Compassionate Use Program (CUP). On Sept. 1, 2021, Texas increased access to medical cannabis under House Bill 1535 to patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a condition veterans and first responders may experience from their service. Under the new law, TOCC provides its full suite of high-quality medical cannabis products to PTSD patients, including the state's first fast-acting gummies as well as TOCC's tinctures and lozenges-medicine that eases PTSD patient symptoms such as anxiety and sleep issues. "I was happy to become a patient in the Texas Compassionate Use Program on Sept. 1. It was a great feeling to pick up my medicine at Texas Original Compassionate Cultivation," said David Bass, a new TOCC patient, United States Army veteran and founder of Texas Veterans for Medical Marijuana. "The gummies work for me. What I like is that every gummy has the same dose and the effects are fast-acting, smooth and predictable. Many veterans in Texas deal with PTSD. Now they have the opportunity to be legal patients and try medical cannabis instead of psychotropic medications. Veterans in Texas appreciate the opportunity to use cannabis under the care of a physicia as part of a long-term care plan. We look forward to advocating for further improvements in the program." TOCC's 20 percent discount is available to military and first responders who show valid identification when picking up their prescriptions. "Since day one, our products have been designed, developed and distributed purposely in Texas, by Texans and for Texans," said Morris Denton, CEO of TOCC. "Our patients and the wider medical community demand high-quality products that yield a consistent outcome. Our gummies and extended portfolio of products are delivering that outcome and helping deserving patients like David Bass experience crucial relief. We thank our military and first responder patients for their dedicated service to our country and local communities in Texas, and are honored to provide the symptom relief they are searching for." In addition to its military and first responder discount, TOCC also offers a one-time, new patient discount: 20 percent off of first orders, and buy-one-get-one 50 percent off the patient's second order. TOCC's gummies, tincture and lozenge products are available for statewide delivery at www.texasoriginal.com, at their dispensary in Austin, Texas, and through the company's convenient patient pick up locations in North Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio.
