When people refer to cannabis, they traditionally think of the marijuana flower or buds. In the past, smoking marijuana was the preferred delivery method for most cannabis users. However, Louisiana’s medical marijuana laws (Louisiana SB 271) mandates that unprocessed forms of cannabis, including flower, are illegal for possession and consumption.
Thankfully, there are many different forms of medical marijuana. Once you have been approved by a certified physician and received your medical marijuana card, here are the options that are available.
Where Can I Buy Medical Marijuana?
When you are approved by your certified physician, they send a medical marijuana recommendation (including dosage) to the closest pharmacy. You will receive a notification when it is ready to be purchased.
