Texas’ largest medical cannabis facility opens in Bastrop, a major milestone in the state’s growing cannabis industry. The new facility, owned by Texas Original Compassionate Cultivation, is nearly 10 times larger than its previous headquarters and spans 75,000 square feet.
The facility is a one-stop-shop for the entire cannabis production process, from cultivation to extraction, testing, packaging, and distribution. This allows for greater efficiency and control over the entire process, ensuring high-quality products for patients.
The facility’s CEO, Nico Richardson, emphasized the importance of the new facility, stating that it was designed to meet the growing demand for medical cannabis in Texas. The facility can hold up to 20 times more capacity than its previous location, making it a major hub for cannabis production in the state.
The opening of the facility comes at a time when Texas is expanding its Compassionate Use Program (CUP), which allows for broader access to medical cannabis. The program was first introduced in 2015 and has since grown to include more patients and products.
Texas Original was one of the state’s first licensed cannabis providers and has been serving patients with high-CBD products. With the new facility, the company is poised to continue growing and meeting the increasing demand for medical cannabis in Texas.
The facility’s opening is also significant as it brings new job opportunities to the area. According to Richardson, the facility will create hundreds of jobs in the region.
Overall, the opening of Texas’ largest medical cannabis facility in Bastrop marks a major milestone in the state’s cannabis industry and is expected to have a significant impact on the local economy.
