CannaBus Tour to educate Texans about medical cannabis

A roving cannabis dispensary will be coming to a Texas town near you. The Ride For Your Rights tour is being held soon by the CannaBus as part of an effort to bring awareness to the state's medical cannabis laws and how people can qualify. The upcoming November elections might get a mention or two.

The CannaBus tour, operated by Austin-based goodblend - one of only three licensed operations in the great state of Texas - will begin on October 4. The 36-foot bus will have a private consultation room, product displays and an outdoor education exhibition. Goodblend is the retail brand of the multi-state operator Parallel.

We want Texans to feel good at Goodblend Medical Cannabis. Access to medical cannabis is something we believe will help. That's why we're hitting the road. Our Ride For Your Rights CannaBus Tour will rally support for expanding access to medical cannabis for Texans. The company stated that we hope to convince state legislators to make real, lasting change.

Reece Fulgham, the CEO of Parallel, said the medical cannabis program will never change unless Texans stand up and make it change. The 'Ride For Your Rights' CannaBus Tour was designed to educate and galvanize support for expanding access to Texans in need. We hope that the support will convince Texas policymakers that there is strong public demand for real change. More than 55% of Texans support the legalization of adult-use marijuana and fully 72% support medical marijuana MMJ, but the latter is strictly limited to those with cancer, autism, epilepsy, PTSD and multiple sclerosis, according to House Bill 1535, which became law last year. Parallel says that fewer than 30,000 patients are currently registered for the program, but many more likely qualify but have little knowledge or access to MMJ.

The Ride For Your Rights CannaBus Tour will take place from October 4 to October 20 in cities across the state, including Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Dallas and more.
