While recreational marijuana remains illegal, medical marijuana is legal in Louisiana.
Qualified patients are permitted to purchase medical cannabis products at state-licensed pharmacies. With the passing of SB 271 in 2016, Louisiana became the first state to create a comprehensive medical marijuana program in the Deep South.
SB 271 states that physicians can only recommend and not “prescribe” medical marijuana to their patients. The bill also mandated that medical cannabis must be provided and distributed to patients in processed, non-smokable forms.
In 2020, the state passed three new laws relevant to its medical marijuana program. Among those new laws, HB 819 enables licensed physicians to recommend medical marijuana to patients with any debilitating condition they believe medical cannabis can treat.
You may use your medical marijuana recommendation when purchasing medical cannabis products from licensed pharmacies in Louisiana.
The Louisiana Board of Pharmacy also recognized the nine regions of the state established by the Department of Health, allocating one marijuana pharmacy permit to each region.
After issuing a recommendation, the doctor generally sends the applicable form of medical cannabis to a licensed pharmacy. The patient will receive a notification once their medical cannabis order is ready to be picked up.
Under the law, patients may possess up to a one-month supply of medical marijuana. The law also limits raw marijuana to 2.5 ounces every two weeks per patient.
The regulatory board responsible for monitoring the dosages and amounts purchased is the Louisiana Medical Marijuana Tracking System.
