Austin, Texas, Medical Marijuana Firm Must Relocate Due to School Proximity

Surterra Texas was forced to relocate.


The type of marijuana grown under the state’s medical cannabis law can’t get anybody high, but Texas regulators still don’t want it near school children — a policy one of the new medical cannabis companies has learned the hard way.

Surterra Texas is months behind the other two medical cannabis companies licensed in Texas — Compassionate Cultivation and Cansortium Texas — in terms of harvesting its first crop and bringing initial medicines to market, after it was found to be too close to a Northeast Austin preschool last August and was forced to relocate.

The company moved its operations to 6912 Hergotz Lane, an industrial area east of Interstate 35, and it didn’t receive its final state license to begin planting seeds until Dec. 15, compared to Sept. 1 for Cansortium Texas and Oct. 31 for Compassionate Cultivation. Both Cansortium and Compassionate Cultivation have been selling their cannabis-based medicine since early February, while Surterra says on its website that it “will soon be proudly supporting Texas patients” but is still growing its initial crop.
