What forms of medical marijuana are available in El Paso?
If you qualify for medical marijuana in El Paso, here are the product forms Texas law allows.
- Low-THC oils: Use the dropper to take by mouth or add to food. Maximum dose is 10mg THC.
- Capsules: Swallow pre-measured pills for consistent dosing that matches your treatment plan.
- Tinctures: Put drops under your tongue for absorption that beats pills and edibles for speed.

Can my employer or landlord find out about my medical marijuana card? Can it show up on a background check?
What happens to my Second Amendment gun rights in TX if I register for a medical cannabis card with the state database?
No patient registry exists in Texas for medical cannabis. Your prescription stays with your physician in private medical files. When you visit dispensaries, they verify eligibility by calling your doctor. The state collects zero information about who uses medical cannabis. Firearm background checks can’t access records that don’t exist. Federal law complicates this because cannabis remains Schedule I and Form 4473 requires disclosure about controlled substance use.
- Patient privacy protections prevent state tracking: Your medical cannabis prescription never gets reported to any government database that background check systems could search.
- Federal paperwork treats medical and recreational cannabis identically: The ATF prohibits anyone currently using cannabis from purchasing firearms, regardless of valid state prescriptions.
- Legal counsel helps patients understand their options: Attorneys explain how federal restrictions interact with your treatment timeline and Second Amendment rights.

El Paso patients have a couple of cannabis delivery options serving the area. Here’s where people in West Texas go when they need products brought to their door.
Serving El Paso with delivery, Dogwood Dispensary brings THCa flower, vapes, edibles, and beverages straight to your address with same-day shipping. Based in North Carolina but delivering throughout Texas, they specialize in products that comply with the 2018 Farm Bill.

Also delivering throughout El Paso, Chronic Guru brings farm-direct cannabis products to your door.

The big draw here is their focus on education and personalized recommendations, they’ll help you figure out dosing and product types instead of just processing an order and moving on.
Both services cover El Paso and the surrounding area. Call or check their websites to confirm delivery times and current product availability before placing your order.
