Louisiana lifts limit on patients who can access medical marijuana

State regulators on Monday (Sept. 17) got rid of a rule that limited the number of patients Louisiana doctors can recommend medical marijuana to.
The Louisiana Board of Medical Examiners met Monday to consider changing several rules that currently place restrictions on patient access to medical marijuana. That included a patient limit rule that prevented Louisiana doctors licensed under the state's medical marijuana program from recommending the drug to more than 100 people at a time.
In addition to lifting the patient cap, the board agreed to remove a restriction that would have required patients to see their doctor every 90 days in order to renew their order for medical cannabis.
quote:
Dr. Victor Chou, one of the first doctors in Louisiana to receive a license to recommend medical marijuana, told the board he met the patient cap just two weeks after opening his clinic in Baton Rouge.
"I have a waiting list of 700 patients," he said.

Knowing the sheriff/DA's association they will probably get a nice kickback for passing along a nice list of every licensee to the DEA.

You know Louisiana politicians just HAVE to set it up so their buddies get to grow it all, then their other buddies get to sell it all, then their other buddies get to prescribe it.
It's a joke. Typical Louisiana politics, got to hook your padnah's up so they make the money, the rest of the state be damned. Good. Ole. Boy.

The fact that governments at every level have denied access to a plant that may have medicinal benefits, as well as hindered research into said benefits, is nothing short of criminal and grounds for dissolution for breach of social contract.

So an employer drug tests for MJ, it shows up in system, you provide your MJ card to the lab and all's good?

That’s one list I do NOT want to be on.

Only about 20 years behind with this one.

Still better than the joke of a medical MJ policy Texas has

Medical MJ cards will be easier to get than a handicapped parking tag.
