The Largest Medical Cannabis Facility in Texas Has Officially Opened

Medical cannabis provider Texas Original has expanded its operations, scaling from a 7,700-square-foot facility to its new 75,000-square-foot headquarters in Bastrop.

The facility includes a hybrid greenhouse for plant cultivation – where the first sun-grown medical cannabis in Texas was recently harvested – as well as manufacturing labs for extraction, processing and refining, testing labs, packaging, dispensing, distribution and delivery logistics.

“This facility represents the future of medical cannabis in Texas,” said Nico Richardson, CEO of Texas Original. “Our expanded operations in Bastrop allow us to serve even more patients across the state, and with the quality expected from Texas Original. As legislative changes under House Bill 46 create opportunities for more Texans to access medical cannabis, we’re ready to meet that need.”

The Bastrop expansion comes at a pivotal time as HB 46 broadens access to medical cannabis to more Texans. In addition to relocating its Bastrop headquarters, Texas Original has converted its former facility just south of Austin into one of Texas’ first satellite locations authorized under HB 46. Under the new regulations, these satellite locations allow for same-day pickups, providing patients across the state faster and more convenient access to medical cannabis. This satellite location joins Texas Original’s more than 17 other pickup sites across Texas.

While production ramps up in Texas, major multi-state cannabis companies are also setting up shop. Trulieve and Verano, two of the biggest cannabis companies in the U.S., have earned tentative approval to set up shop in the Lone Star State.
