[ad_1]
Austin, Texas – (BUSINESS WIRE) – Texas Original Compassionate Cultivation (TOCC), Texas’s leading provider of medicinal cannabis, announced today that the groundbreaking ceremony has recently taken place for a new, state-of-the-art medical cannabis plant in Bastrop, Texas . When completed, the vertically integrated facility will serve growing patient demand for better access to medical cannabis in Texas as HB 1535 went into effect on September 1, 2021, expanding the state’s Compassionate Use Program (CUP).
Located on TOCC’s 25 acres in Bastrop County, the 96,000-square-foot facility will contain dedicated acreage for growing medicinal cannabis plants that will ultimately serve patients through the company’s full-service on-site pharmacy as well as through TOCC’s patient network will be collection points across the state. Construction on the project began in May 2021 and is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2022.
“The groundbreaking ceremony for our next-generation facility is a significant milestone for our company and for the thousands of patients in Texas who have come to depend on our medicine,” said Morris Denton, CEO of TOCC. “Our commitment to leading the Texas medical cannabis market and the patients we care for has never been stronger. This new facility will strengthen our manufacturing capabilities and allow us not only to reach more Texans, but also to manufacture, develop and distribute new medicinal cannabis products that meet the diverse needs of qualified patients. ”
The facility will include a hybrid greenhouse for plant cultivation, production laboratories for extraction, processing and refinement, test laboratories, packaging, dispensing, distribution and delivery logistics as well as offices for administrative activities. The hybrid greenhouse allows TOCC to harness Texas sunlight while complying with state restrictions that restrict licensed medicinal cannabis production to indoor use only. TOCC anticipates the facility will soon add hundreds of jobs to Bastrop County.
TOCC products are currently available for nationwide delivery at www.texasoriginal.com and at the company’s pharmacy in Austin, Texas. Patients can also fill out prescriptions through the company’s convenient pick-up locations in North Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio.
