San Antonio patients receive only what is listed in the state registry; others face standard Texas marijuana possession penalties. | ✓ | Subject to standard state possession laws |

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?
Your prescription for medical cannabis in Texas never gets reported to any state database. Your doctor keeps the prescription in your private medical records. When you purchase from dispensaries, they confirm you’re eligible by contacting your physician. Texas built this program without patient tracking. Background checks for guns can’t find information the state never collected. Federal law causes complications since cannabis is still illegal federally and gun applications require answers about substance use.
- The state designed the program to protect privacy: Your medical cannabis use stays between you and your doctor. No government agency maintains a searchable database that federal systems could access during background checks.
- Federal forms create a contradiction for medical patients: Form 4473 treats all cannabis users as prohibited purchasers. Your legal Texas prescription doesn’t change ATF eligibility standards under current federal law.
- Attorneys explain options available to you: Legal professionals can review your treatment schedule and firearm goals to help you understand how conflicting state and federal regulations affect your choices.

What pharmacies take TCUP prescriptions from San Antonio patients?
San Antonio’s got several places where you can pick up cannabis products without much trouble. Here’s where patients around the city go when they need to restock.
Off Austin Highway near Broadway and close to Alamo Heights, Texas Original (1464 Austin Hwy, Ste 104, San Antonio, TX 78209) serves patients enrolled in the Texas Compassionate Use Program on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays from 11 AM to 6 PM. They’re convenient for patients around the Monte Vista area or coming from Fort Sam Houston who need medical-grade gummies, tinctures, and topical balm with precise dosing for conditions like PTSD, cancer, and chronic pain.
Up in Stone Oak near US 281 and Stone Oak Parkway, goodblend (18720 Stone Oak Pkwy, #107, San Antonio, TX 78258) runs a partner pickup location Monday through Saturday from 9 AM to 5 PM and Sundays from 11 AM to 5 PM. They’re known for their wide variety of tinctures including higher-dose formulas, plus their staff focuses on patient education and helping you understand what products work best for your qualifying condition.
With six locations across San Antonio, Kingpin Kush gives you options no matter where you are in the city. Their San Pedro location (6649 San Pedro Ave) sits near Northstar Mall and I-410, the Thousand Oaks spot (16272 San Pedro Ave) is off Highway 281 north of Loop 1604, and they’ve got locations on Huebner Road, Evers Road near Loop 410, Bandera Road near North 1604, and SW Military Drive near Highway 35. People appreciate having multiple storefronts to choose from depending on which side of town they’re on.
If staying home works better, Chronic Guru delivers throughout San Antonio and surrounding areas with discreet shipping straight to your door. They’re veteran-owned and grow their own cannabis on a 5-acre indoor farm, focusing on small-batch flower with high terpene content and handcrafted organic edibles. This works well for patients in Leon Valley, Castle Hills, or around Universal City who’d rather skip the drive.
Between the medical pickup locations on Austin Highway and Stone Oak Parkway, six Kingpin Kush storefronts spread across town, and delivery covering Leon Valley, Castle Hills, and Universal City, patients have plenty of San Antonio dispensary options without traveling far. Just confirm hours before heading out, especially for Texas Original and goodblend since they have specific pickup days and times.
