Louisiana Medical Marijuana Forms & Products
Louisiana's medical marijuana program offers patients a variety of product forms designed for different methods of use. Licensed Louisiana medical marijuana dispensaries can provide approved products including flower, edibles, tinctures, concentrates, topicals, pills, and metered-dose inhalers. The Louisiana Department of Health regulates the state's medical marijuana program and establishes which product forms may be sold to registered patients.
Whether you prefer an inhaled product, an edible, a topical application, or another method, your Louisiana marijuana doctor can discuss your medical needs and help you determine whether you may qualify for the state's medical marijuana program.
Raw Flower & Pre-Rolls
Raw flower consists of the dried marijuana flower from the plant. Louisiana dispensaries may also offer pre-rolls, which are prepared flower products designed for inhalation. Combustible forms made from marijuana flower are among the products permitted under Louisiana's medical marijuana regulations.
Edibles
Edibles are marijuana products intended to be eaten. Louisiana regulations allow edible products made from marijuana flower, as well as approved gelatin- or pectin-based chewables. Patients may find products such as gummies and other chewable forms at licensed dispensaries.
Concentrates & Vapes
Concentrates and extracts contain cannabinoids derived from marijuana and can be available in various formulations. Louisiana's approved product categories include oils and extracts. Patients should be aware that Louisiana's regulated product list distinguishes between different inhalation methods, and metered-dose inhalers are specifically approved products.
Tinctures & Sublinguals
Tinctures are liquid marijuana products that can be taken in measured amounts. Louisiana regulations specifically permit oils, extracts, tinctures, sprays, and liquid oral dosage forms. Some tinctures are designed to be administered under the tongue, providing patients with a discreet alternative to inhaled products.
Topicals & Patches
Topical products are applied directly to the skin and may include creams, lotions, and other topical formulations. Louisiana also permits transdermal patches, which are designed to deliver marijuana compounds through the skin.
Pills & Inhalers
Louisiana dispensaries may offer solid oral dosage forms such as pills, capsules, and tablets. Metered-dose inhalers are also an approved product form and provide an inhaled option without requiring traditional smoking or vaping.
