There are currently nine medical marijuana dispensaries operating in Louisiana. As a registered patient, you can purchase a variety of products, including capsules, metered-dose inhalers, tinctures, topicals, and cannabis flower. Those with an MMJ recommendation can purchase up to a 30-day supply of non-smokable medical cannabis products or up to two and a half ounces of smokable cannabis per 14 days.
The Louisiana medical marijuana program was established in 2015 when the state legislature passed SB 143. This act laid the groundwork for a medical marijuana program, allowing patients with qualifying conditions to access medical cannabis with the approval of licensed physicians. The state officially began selling medical marijuana in 2019.
To participate in the LA medical marijuana program, patients must obtain a written recommendation from a licensed physician. Medical cannabis is then dispensed through state-licensed pharmacies to ensure its quality and efficacy.
In Louisiana, medical marijuana patients must renew their MMJ recommendations annually. To renew yours, complete the following steps:
The state of Louisiana does not require prospective caregivers to undergo an official application process. Rather, it allows medical marijuana patients to work with their respective dispensaries to designate someone to purchase and deliver their medicine.
