The only legit cannabis in Louisiana is medical marijuana. To buy it, you must have [your medical marijuana certification](https://hellomd.com/get-started). To get your certification requires going to a state-licensed physician for either an in-person visit or Telehealth appointment. If you meet one of the [qualifying conditions on the state's](https://norml.org/laws/medical-laws/louisiana-medical-marijuana-law/) list, you will most likely be approved for certification. After this, the doctor adds you to the state's cannabis registry.\n\nOnce you're registered with the state, the certification is sent to dispensaries. At this point, you choose a dispensary to visit and purchase your marijuana. \n\nAs for the best dispensaries in Louisiana, it really depends on where you live. In New Orleans, I like to visit [HWDispensary](https://hwdispensary.com/), which has multiple locations and a friendly staff.\n\nLisa B.\n\n____________________________________\n\n![Untitled33.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Untitled33_1525f561ce.png)\n\nLouisiana has licensed only [nine medical marijuana pharmacies](https://gbsciences.com/2018/08/23/louisiana-pharmacies/) (what other states call dispensaries) working through [GB Sciences and LSU Agriculture Center Partnership](https://www.lsureveille.com/news/lsu-agcenter-partners-with-gb-sciences-to-produce-medical-marijuana/article_a13b5240-cb52-11e9-ac5c-f7698a177ec7.html). I don't think that there's much to choose between them; it's just a matter of which one is closest to you geographically.\n\nThe pharmacies are distributed by region around the state:\n\n- Region 1 — Metropolitan – H & W Drug Store, New Orleans\n- Region 2 — Capitol – Capitol Wellness Solutions – Baton Rouge\n- Region 3 — Teche – Green Leaf Dispensary – Houma\n- Region 4 — Acadian – The Apothecary – Lafayette\n- Region 5 — Southwest – Medicis – Lake Charles\n- Region 6 — Central – The Medicine Cabinet Pharmacy – Alexandria\n- Region 7 — Northwest – Hope Pharmacy – Shreveport\n- Region 8 — Northeast – Delta Medmar – West Monroe\n- Region 9 — Southeast – Willow Pharmacy – Madisonville\n\nFor legal reasons, Louisiana has to have special pharmacies to distribute weed to people on the state's cannabis registry, [who have been certified](https://hellomd.com/) by the state. \n\nIn a [news interview](https://www.wafb.com/2022/01/02/smokable-medical-marijuana-now-available-louisiana-patients/) Rep. Joseph Marino, of Gretna, who chairs the Lousiana's Medical Marijuana Commission, said: \"Because it's still a [Schedule 1 drug](https://www.dea.gov/drug-information/drug-scheduling), it can't go through a regular pharmacy. When the federal government changes that, then we can change the way this works.\"\n\nAlana W.\n\n____________________________________\n\n![Untitled50.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Untitled50_91eab8d8eb.png)\n\nWhen you get to a dispensary you might not be really impressed by the selection. Louisiana has only licensed two growers, so the amount of supply has been questioned and the number of choices are limited at the moment but expanding.\n\nLSU and Southern University have the actual growing licenses, but they farm out the work. [Ilera](https://ileraholistichealthcare.com/) is Southern's growing partner, and [Good Day Farm](https://www.gooddayfarmdispensary.com/) is LSU's. The latter has changed its name twice, going from GB to Wellcana to Good Day Farm.\n\nIlera provides products such as [Ayo blue raspberry chewables](https://ileraholistichealthcare.com/products/), different inhaler cartridges, and topicals. \n\nGood Day Farm brands itself as the \"#1 Medical Cannabis Brand in the South.\" It actually runs two dispensaries in other states: Little Rock, AR, and Cape Girardeau, MO. Its offerings typically feature flower, [edibles](https://www.gooddayfarmdispensary.com/little-rock-menu/), vapes, gear, concentrates, and topicals.\n\nCassandra P.\n\n____________________________________\n\n![Untitled34.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Untitled34_d80bdd6485.png)\n\nIn Louisiana, the state's [Department of Agriculture and Forestry](https://www.ldaf.state.la.us/medical-marijuana/) (LDAF) is the regulatory agency for licensing and producing therapeutic marijuana. Its Medical Marijuana Program oversees the production of medical marijuana to make sure the final product is safe for consumption when bought at one of the nine dispensaries.\n\nIt, for example, controls the active pesticide ingredients used in marijuana crops.\n\nIt is the [Louisiana Board of Pharmacy](http://www.pharmacy.la.gov/) that actually regulates the pharmacies, including the nine ones permitted to sell medical marijuana. Its site indicates that it might license the 10th dispensary someday and lays out its criteria for its nine choices to date.\n\nA few of its considerations included:\n\n\"The character and fitness of the owner's managing officer, the pharmacist-in-charge, any of the owners and any other person who may have control or influence over the operation of the proposed marijuana pharmacy.\"\n\nAnd:\n\n\"Whether the patient population in the area proposed by the marijuana pharmacy permit applicant justifies the need for a marijuana pharmacy.\"\n\nAnd: \n\n\"Whether the proximity of the proposed marijuana pharmacy will have a detrimental effect upon any place used primarily for religious worship, public or private school, convent, charitable institution . . .\"\n\nPeter G.\n","image":{"childImageSharp":{"fluid":{"base64":"data:image/png;base64,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","aspectRatio":1,"src":"/static/c40c780686ba82dbcc65b1d6d0c66537/ee604/55fdb6d5556fe81cfea9f2a2503cbd2e.png","srcSet":"/static/c40c780686ba82dbcc65b1d6d0c66537/69585/55fdb6d5556fe81cfea9f2a2503cbd2e.png 200w,\n/static/c40c780686ba82dbcc65b1d6d0c66537/497c6/55fdb6d5556fe81cfea9f2a2503cbd2e.png 400w,\n/static/c40c780686ba82dbcc65b1d6d0c66537/ee604/55fdb6d5556fe81cfea9f2a2503cbd2e.png 800w,\n/static/c40c780686ba82dbcc65b1d6d0c66537/f3583/55fdb6d5556fe81cfea9f2a2503cbd2e.png 1200w,\n/static/c40c780686ba82dbcc65b1d6d0c66537/5707d/55fdb6d5556fe81cfea9f2a2503cbd2e.png 1600w,\n/static/c40c780686ba82dbcc65b1d6d0c66537/961c2/55fdb6d5556fe81cfea9f2a2503cbd2e.png 2576w","srcWebp":"/static/c40c780686ba82dbcc65b1d6d0c66537/58556/55fdb6d5556fe81cfea9f2a2503cbd2e.webp","srcSetWebp":"/static/c40c780686ba82dbcc65b1d6d0c66537/61e93/55fdb6d5556fe81cfea9f2a2503cbd2e.webp 200w,\n/static/c40c780686ba82dbcc65b1d6d0c66537/1f5c5/55fdb6d5556fe81cfea9f2a2503cbd2e.webp 400w,\n/static/c40c780686ba82dbcc65b1d6d0c66537/58556/55fdb6d5556fe81cfea9f2a2503cbd2e.webp 800w,\n/static/c40c780686ba82dbcc65b1d6d0c66537/99238/55fdb6d5556fe81cfea9f2a2503cbd2e.webp 1200w,\n/static/c40c780686ba82dbcc65b1d6d0c66537/7c22d/55fdb6d5556fe81cfea9f2a2503cbd2e.webp 1600w,\n/static/c40c780686ba82dbcc65b1d6d0c66537/61157/55fdb6d5556fe81cfea9f2a2503cbd2e.webp 2576w","sizes":"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px"}}}}},{"node":{"id":"Question_12606-markdown","title":"What are the medical marijuana laws in Louisiana?","slug":"what-are-the-medical-marijuana-laws-in-louisiana","content":"**“I’m moving down by the Bayou in Louisiana soon. In Boston, I use medical cannabis for pains related to sports injuries. I don’t get the impression that marijuana regulations are as open as they are up here. What kinds of marijuana laws do they have?”**\n\n**Stacey P.**\n\n_______________________________\n\n![Untitled69.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Untitled69_639bbf2864.png)\n\nThey aren’t as far advanced as Boston, but they’re getting there. For one thing, recreational or adult-use cannabis is **still illegal**. With the passage of [Act 261](https://www.legis.la.gov/legis/ViewDocument.aspx?d=960317) (known as the Alison Neustrom Act), medical marijuana was legalized in 2015.\n\nThere were a couple of problems with the act, such as using the word “prescribe.” Because weed is a Schedule 1 drug and illegal federally, physicians can’t write prescriptions. So the first actual sales weren’t until 2019.\n\nNow state-licensed physicians can review a patient’s medical history, see if they have a qualifying medical condition, and then add their name to the statewide cannabis registry. The patient would take this recommendation, or the physician would send it, to the dispensary of the patient’s choice, which would check it against Louisiana’s cannabis registry. Then the patient can buy legal, medical cannabis.\n\nSo it makes good sense for you to [get your certification](https://www.hellomd.com/get-started/louisiana) in Louisiana, so you have legal access to a quality-controlled supply of medical marijuana.\n\nRoger R.\n\n_______________________________\n\n![Untitled67.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Untitled67_cda2bf632e.png)\n\nRight. You must refill your medical marijuana prescription every 90 days, and the maximum amount you can buy at a time is a 30-day supply. For marijuana flower, the limit is 2.5 ounces over 14 days. Marijuana flower became legal on Jan. 1, 2022. Before, it was just things like oils and tinctures.\n\nIt’s essential to observe the [medical cannabis laws](https://norml.org/laws/medical-laws/louisiana-medical-marijuana-law/) in Louisiana so you don’t wind up on the wrong side of the law.\n\nYou can’t use a medical card from another state to buy cannabis. You also can’t designate a caregiver to buy it on behalf of you, as you can elsewhere. And you can’t grow your weed, even if you are a medical patient on the state’s cannabis registry.\n\nLouisiana has a sliding scale of penalties for illegal possession of weed, starting with a fine of up to $300, and imprisonment for up to 15 days for up to 14g of the substance. And it can go up to 10 to 60 years in prison, and a maximum $100,000 fine, for a second conviction of dealing cannabis. So it’s a good idea to walk the straight and narrow down here.\n\nSandra S.\n\n_______________________________\n\n![Untitled68.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Untitled68_7748aee773.png)\n\nNot surprisingly, it’s [illegal to drive under the influence (DUI)](https://norml.org/laws/drugged-driving/louisiana-drugged-driving/) of cannabis. If a chemical test of your breath, blood, or urine indicates you are stoned, then you would receive a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 days to six months in jail. This would be accompanied by a $300 to $1,000 fine, entering into a court-mandated substance abuse program, and participating in a court-ordered driver improvement program. All but 48 hours of jail time could be suspended by doing community service. \n\nSubsequent offenses would cost you even more dearly. For example, for your fourth offense, there’s a mandatory $5,000 fine and jail time of 10 to 30 years (all but two years of jail time can be suspended). Your vehicle can also be seized and sold, with the proceeds forfeited to the state. Your license could be suspended for two years, and you’d receive mandatory psychological testing.\n\nSo drive clean and sober.\n\nCarolyn M.\n","image":{"childImageSharp":{"fluid":{"base64":"data:image/png;base64,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","aspectRatio":1,"src":"/static/13e5adfe4e9bcfb9c0351b00594d15f4/ee604/2ba21233b7668b9206687e21fb8e1817.png","srcSet":"/static/13e5adfe4e9bcfb9c0351b00594d15f4/69585/2ba21233b7668b9206687e21fb8e1817.png 200w,\n/static/13e5adfe4e9bcfb9c0351b00594d15f4/497c6/2ba21233b7668b9206687e21fb8e1817.png 400w,\n/static/13e5adfe4e9bcfb9c0351b00594d15f4/ee604/2ba21233b7668b9206687e21fb8e1817.png 800w,\n/static/13e5adfe4e9bcfb9c0351b00594d15f4/f3583/2ba21233b7668b9206687e21fb8e1817.png 1200w","srcWebp":"/static/13e5adfe4e9bcfb9c0351b00594d15f4/58556/2ba21233b7668b9206687e21fb8e1817.webp","srcSetWebp":"/static/13e5adfe4e9bcfb9c0351b00594d15f4/61e93/2ba21233b7668b9206687e21fb8e1817.webp 200w,\n/static/13e5adfe4e9bcfb9c0351b00594d15f4/1f5c5/2ba21233b7668b9206687e21fb8e1817.webp 400w,\n/static/13e5adfe4e9bcfb9c0351b00594d15f4/58556/2ba21233b7668b9206687e21fb8e1817.webp 800w,\n/static/13e5adfe4e9bcfb9c0351b00594d15f4/99238/2ba21233b7668b9206687e21fb8e1817.webp 1200w","sizes":"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px"}}}}},{"node":{"id":"Question_12605-markdown","title":"Can you legally grow medical marijuana in Louisiana?","slug":"can-you-legally-grow-medical-marijuana-in-louisiana","content":"**“I’m a medical weed user in New Iberia but am finding the cost kind of high.

Louisiana has taken small but significant steps since making legal, medical cannabis available in 2019. For example, a [shortlist of conditions](https://ldh.la.gov/) that had to be met, and recommended by state-certified doctors, was first expanded then thrown right open.\n\nNow any licensed doctor in the state can recommend medical marijuana for their Louisiana patients for just about any kind of debilitating medical condition. While you might not be able to grow your own weed legally — or buy it lawfully as a recreational user — this could change as the state responds to residents’ wishes to have these things.\n\nStill, it’s worthwhile [getting a medical marijuana card](https://hellomd.com/get-started) in Louisiana to access a safe and quality-controlled supply of cannabis and avoid the consequences of being caught and facing possession charges and fines.\n\nAlafair M.\n\n__________________________________\n\n![Untitled65.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Untitled65_b49450ec38.png)\n\nActually, Louisiana doesn’t have a medical card system. You have to see a doctor licensed in the state, and they [make a recommendation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_in_Louisiana#:~:text=Cannabis%20in%20Louisiana%20is%20legal,recommendation%20for%20any%20debilitating%20condition) to the statewide medical cannabis registry. This certification allows a state-licensed dispensary to sell you cannabis.\n\nOf course, some doctors know more about medical marijuana than others, so it’s a good idea to find one who is willing to recommend you and has kept up with the fast-evolving field of cannabis medicine. That’s why it’s worth checking out the services of [HelloMD](https://hellomd.com/) to help you get your medical certification in Louisiana. \n\nHelloMD’s medical practitioners are well-versed in the pros and cons of medical marijuana and how it might help you with your condition. In a convenient telehealth appointment, they’ll review your medical history and answer any questions you might have. After they add you to the cannabis registry and their recommendation is received by the dispensary you’ve designated, you are able to buy your cannabis products — up to a 30 days’ supply at a time, or 2.5 ounces of dry flower every two weeks.\n\nJames L.\n\n__________________________________\n\n![Untitled66.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Untitled66_97c42b91cb.png)\n\nThe times do seem to be changing in the Bayou State. Even in the Big Easy, it’s easier to buy medical weed these days. At the beginning of 2022, [Louisiana added raw smokable weed](https://www.wafb.com/2022/01/02/smokable-medical-marijuana-now-available-louisiana-patients/) to the list of products available for patients.\n\nOther forms accepted in the state include oils, extracts, tinctures, sprays, capsules, pills, solutions, suspension, gelatin-based chewables, lotions, transdermal patches, and suppositories.\n\nThe government also approved the home-delivery of medical marijuana from dispensaries. As a side note, it’s interesting to see that Louisiana’s food delivery company [Waitr is teaming up with Flow Payments](https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/news/business/article_b060acb4-7d3c-11eb-a06c-9f33225672fe.html) to create a specialized platform to sell and deliver legal cannabis in states where it’s allowed. It’s a great idea to combine food delivery with weed — you’re prepared when the munchies arise.\n\nClete B.\n","image":{"childImageSharp":{"fluid":{"base64":"data:image/png;base64,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","aspectRatio":1,"src":"/static/b0b9e09f49da00c3a437e762c8825abb/ee604/5dbf523fd103a1532bdc2c8bb8473707.png","srcSet":"/static/b0b9e09f49da00c3a437e762c8825abb/69585/5dbf523fd103a1532bdc2c8bb8473707.png 200w,\n/static/b0b9e09f49da00c3a437e762c8825abb/497c6/5dbf523fd103a1532bdc2c8bb8473707.png 400w,\n/static/b0b9e09f49da00c3a437e762c8825abb/ee604/5dbf523fd103a1532bdc2c8bb8473707.png 800w,\n/static/b0b9e09f49da00c3a437e762c8825abb/f3583/5dbf523fd103a1532bdc2c8bb8473707.png 1200w","srcWebp":"/static/b0b9e09f49da00c3a437e762c8825abb/58556/5dbf523fd103a1532bdc2c8bb8473707.webp","srcSetWebp":"/static/b0b9e09f49da00c3a437e762c8825abb/61e93/5dbf523fd103a1532bdc2c8bb8473707.webp 200w,\n/static/b0b9e09f49da00c3a437e762c8825abb/1f5c5/5dbf523fd103a1532bdc2c8bb8473707.webp 400w,\n/static/b0b9e09f49da00c3a437e762c8825abb/58556/5dbf523fd103a1532bdc2c8bb8473707.webp 800w,\n/static/b0b9e09f49da00c3a437e762c8825abb/99238/5dbf523fd103a1532bdc2c8bb8473707.webp 1200w","sizes":"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px"}}}}},{"node":{"id":"Question_12232-markdown","title":"Can you get a medical card in California and use it in Louisiana?
