Louisiana Works Differently
Louisiana's medical cannabis program is unique. There is no state patient registry — patients don't need to apply for or carry an ID card. Cannabis is dispensed through licensed medical cannabis pharmacies staffed by Louisiana-licensed pharmacists, not traditional dispensaries. Your physician's recommendation is sent directly to the pharmacy of your choice.
How Louisiana's Program Works
Louisiana's program adds a clinical pharmacy layer that's unusual in medical cannabis. The good news: this means fewer steps for patients than most other states.
