Fort Worth Reevaluates Medical Cannabis Dispensary Rules: Balancing Access and Neighborhood Concerns
Fort Worth is reassessing its regulations for medical cannabis dispensaries following Texas Originals application for a new pickup spot. The state expanded the Compassionate Use program, allowing up to fifteen dispensaries by early 2026, and permitting satellite locations for patient pickups. Texas Original, with eighteen existing satellites, seeks to open its second store in a former convenience store spot.
Local businesses and the Camp Bowie District board have expressed concerns about traffic and the business model, wishing the company had consulted them first. City council members are exploring zoning options without violating state limits.
City staff have completed a legal review and recommend maintaining satellites as pharmacies in commercial zones. They propose a new category for larger production and cultivation sites, relocating them to industrial areas. The full review is expected to be finished by May, with a briefing for the councils growth committee to follow.
As Fort Worth proceeds, officials aim to strike a balance between ensuring easier access to prescribed treatments for patients and considering neighborhood input on locations.
