I Have Questions About Medical Marijuana in Louisiana
Posted on 2/12/21 at 11:25 am
Posted on 2/12/21 at 11:25 am
I’ve been away from my dear Louisiana for several years now and didn’t realize the legislature legalized medical marijuana in November of 2020.
Louisiana law now allows doctors to recommend medical cannabis for any medical condition the physician “considers debilitating to an individual patient” that the physician is qualified to treat. The law also lists several qualifying conditions, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ALS, traumatic brain injury, and chronic pain associated with sickle cell anemia or fibromyalgia.
My question: even if you convince a doctor to prescribe you medical MJ, how do you fill the Rx? Can you roll up to a Walgreens, or are there specific dispensaries that have to fill the order?
I could see a situation in LA where although it’s legal, there are no pharmacies that carry cannabis because of muh Jesus.

Capital Wellness in BR
There are 7 (I think) licensed pharmacies in La.

Probably not worth it in Louisiana.
They have about 8 or 9 pharmacies across the state. Each one is located in a major city. When I used it, it was expensive as frick and it was only a tincture.
Louisiana does not offer any legal smokable form of marijuana at this time.

There are only a few pharmacies (12 I think) where you can get it
fibromyalgia means anyone can get it

They legalized it, but Louisiana only allows you to purchase/sell tinctures with no psychoactive properties. Oh and the only manufacturer the state allows to make the tinctures is Southern University.

I don't think traditional pharmacies anywhere in the country fill medical marijuana scripts

I'm guessing this is strictly making the tinctures? I know LSU AG center is the main state grower

I was told something similar regarding the psychoactive properties of med marijuana in LA.
Was told it is garbage.
Would love clarification if you have some info.

Specific dispensaries have to open that are able to fill medical use prescriptions. No where in the country could you ever, ever go to a place like Walgreens and fill those prescriptions.
One day, when adult use is legalized in LA, those medical stores will need a second license if they want to sell adult use cannabis (which is where the real money is). They'll likely have to be vertically integrated, which is a pain in the arse.

Jesus, the guy who burst onto the scene by magically restocking all booze at a party, obviously takes great offense to partaking in the reefer.

There are places online that you pay, anywhere from $100-$200, and they sit up an online, zoom type, meeting with a real doctor. Usually in a different state. Who then signs off on a medical marijuana card. Some people's meetings have lasted 5 minutes. Others less than a minute. I guess it depends on the doctor but I don't think they turn too many people away. Then you have to pay the state like $50 for the license. You have to do this process every year. It doesn't auto renew.

You start to realize that you dont have to look over your shoulder near as much..
New Orleans kicked arse back in the 1790s-1840s though, most of you guys would've enjoyed it.

It actually can depend on the state. Some states require that the doctor be licensed in the state, others don't.
Those places you're referring to don't turn people away, they're literally in business to give people licenses. But the thought of just going to your regular doctor to get a cannabis script is a fallacy.
