HOUSTON — Looking at its new storefront along Houston Avenue, you may not know what Texas Original sells. But the leaf on the logo provides a clue.
“We’re the leading medical cannabis company in the state of Texas,” CEO Morris Denton said.
The company’s first brick-and-mortar location in Houston allows patrons with a prescription to get gummies, tinctures and other products that contain no more than 1% THC.
That’s the marijuana compound that normally gets you “high” and is also believed to effectively treat pain and other issues.
“It’s the first of its kind in Houston without a doubt,” Denton said. “I mean, it’s a historic store in the City of Houston. It’s the first medical cannabis store that’s part of the state’s Compassionate Use Program.”
