Louisiana has one of the most progressive medical marijuana programs in the country. Our great state was actually the first to legalize medical marijuana treatment back in the 80’s way before even California legalized medical marijuana.
Our state has always been at the forefront of the marijuana movement and Louisiana Marijuana Card is here to keep up the tradition! We are here to be your go-to medical marijuana card provider if you are suffering from a condition.
Louisiana is also progressive when it comes to its medical marijuana program because it is what we call in the industry an “all conditions” state. This means that you don’t have to have a specific medical condition in order to qualify for medical marijuana treatment. As long as your doctor says that you would benefit from it, you can use it as a treatment option!
Many states have restrictive programs with a small amount of medical conditions on their qualifying conditions list. In Louisiana, medical marijuana treatment is available to all. We can help you every step of the way to getting your card!
Although Louisiana is ultra progressive when it comes to medical marijuana, there is one tiny downfall. Right now, it is only legal in Louisiana to buy medical marijuana in the form of an extract. This means that you can get your treatment in a tincture, a capsule, a topical and other ways as long as it is in liquid form.
To many, this seems a bit restrictive because extracts are at a higher price point since they are more processed. Also format plays a role in how marijuana affects you. Using a topical is different than using an edible which is different than using a tincture.
Not to worry though! Louisiana can soon be seeing some major changes at the dispensaries.
Flower is on its Way to Louisiana!
Very soon Louisiana medical marijuana patients will be able to access marijuana flower at their local dispensaries!
Last month, the Louisiana Senate approved a bill that will legalize smokable marijuana flower throughout the state. As of now, we are just waiting for the Governor to give the signature of approval. Then medical marijuana in the form of raw smokable flower buds will be able to be accessed!
There are many benefits to allowing flower to be added to dispensary menus! Patients will be able to have a wider variety at the dispensary and have more freedom to choose which format of medical marijuana is best for them. It also gives patients an option at a lower price point.
