Your Questions About Louisiana Medical Marijuana Answered!
Since day one of the Louisiana medical marijuana program, the Louisiana Board of Pharmacy has been revising its list of conditions qualifying for a medical marijuana card. The original list was short, and it included mostly severe or debilitating conditions only.
The good news for patients in 2022, is that Louisiana certified physicians can now recommend medical marijuana for any condition they believe will improve with the use of cannabis! This means that it's easier than ever to qualify for a medical marijuana card in Louisiana, and we are here to help!
If you are living with chronic pain, anxiety, depression, PTSD, cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, or any other condition that marijuana could help, then you likely qualify for a doctor's medical marijuana recommendation! Once you have one, you can buy medical marijuana products like flower, tinctures, gelatin-based chews (edibles), RSO and more, at your chosen Louisiana dispensary!

We can’t guarantee approval for anyone, as a medical marijuana doctor is the only person who can determine whether or not a patient qualifies. To make it more likely that you receive a medical marijuana certification from the doctor, we recommend that you bring as much information as possible to your appointment regarding your medical condition and past treatments.

There would be no fee or charge to replace your recommendation from a Louisiana marijuana card doctor. There is not currently a statewide medical marijuana patient registration in Louisiana, and patients simply register with their chosen pharmacy and bring their state ID in when they visit.
Louisiana currently has nine licensed dispensaries located throughout the state. If there is not a dispensary close to you, your nearest MMJ dispensary may deliver. In most cases, you can call in an order, visit the Louisiana dispensary online menu, or simply walk in to talk to a pharmacist who can help you make your selection!
Yes. To be protected under the Louisiana Medical Marijuana Act, your marijuana must be labeled from one of the Louisiana dispensaries.
Louisiana doctor and shop at licensed dispensaries, you'll have access to a wide variety of medical marijuana products grown in world-class facilities overseen by Louisiana State and Southern Universities.
With certified medical marijuana products purchased at dispensaries, you get the security of knowing what you're buying every single time, and the flexibility to choose cannabis products tailored to treat specific symptoms.
When you buy marijuana on the black market, you often have no idea what you're getting. Products may be treated with unsafe irritants or chemicals, and there is no guarantee you are getting the strain you think you're getting.

No. Medical cannabis must be purchased in a licensed Louisiana dispensary.
There are currently some cases moving through courts in other states that may force insurance providers in those states to cover medical marijuana, and these rulings will likely have an effect on coverage in Louisiana as well. However, we are not aware of any insurance providers that cover the costs of medical marijuana at present.
We do encourage you to contact your insurance provider or Medicaid official for an clear answer to this question.
The cost of medical marijuana in Louisiana is set by each dispensary, and prices are based on a number of factors. These factors include supply and demand, cost of compliance with Louisiana medical marijuana cultivation and processing regulations, and the type of product being sold.
Cannabis products that must be processed more heavily are more expensive, which is why flower coming to Louisiana dispensaries in 2022 is so exciting! Medical marijuana flower is one of the most accessible cannabis products, because it is familiar to most LA patients. You can smoke or vape MMJ flower sold in Louisiana dispensaries, and the minimal processing makes your cannabis purchases more affordable.
The price of MMJ is coming down, and we are looking forward to medical marijuana in Louisiana becoming more and more affordable as more patients sign up to participate in the program!
At this time, the state of Louisiana does not allow reciprocity. This means that patients from out of state cannot purchase products at LA dispensaries. However, medical marijuana patients from Louisiana may visit other states and purchase cannabis products at dispensaries if the state allows reciprocity.
Currently, the only neighboring state that allows reciprocity is Arkansas, but the state has a robust MMJ program and it may be worth the trip! Patients will need to register and pay a small fee ahead of time, and then they will be able to shop at Arkansas dispensaries.
Unfortunately, medical marijuana patients in Louisiana are not currently protected from being tested for THC by their employer. Employers may still screen for drugs upon hiring, when there is an accident, upon returning to work after a prolonged absence, and when there is reason to believe you are impaired on the job.
Some employers may consider making accommodations for patients participating in the program, but they are not required to. There are currently a few states and municipalities that have enacted protections for employees who are medical marijuana patients with a valid card. Louisiana could be next!
Louisiana marijuana card offers affordable online appointments with licensed medical marijuana doctors! You never have to leave the comfort and privacy of your home in order to get your card online using your smartphone, tablet or computer!
