Theres a list of conditions in the article. Basically you have to have a major debilitating illness. Hopefully the next step is expansion to include other ailments.

The only thing they cannot sell is smokeable raw form. I don’t know if that means they can sell the vape wax, I doubt they can though.


The article states that it will only be available in pill or oil form. No mention of edibles.

Mechoulaum, the guy who is credited with discovering the THC molecule in the 60's, has been using cannabis, THC, and other natural cannabinoids in treating PTSD for the Israeli Armed Forces for decades now.

He and his son are both extensively involved in cannabinoid research and are even partnered with a UK pharma corp using CBD for epilepsy and MS. (GWPharma). That company grows at least 3 strains in secret growhouses within the UK (High CBD, High THC, balanced THC/CBD) and also partnered with a Dutch grower.

Only drawback to the Mechoulamb's is they believe still in medical control over the plant completely and totally. No free choice and public accessibility.

Watch.

Those fricking corrupt pieces of shite.


You're pretty goddamn naive if you think the sheriffs are any more corrupt than the cronyism and bribery behind deciding which 9 people get to make millions off those licenses.

There isn’t a pharmacy for just Tangipahoa parish. There are nine regions of the state, Tangipahoa is in the region with St Tammany, Washington, and Livingston. A pharmacy in St. Tammany received the license.

These current marijuana pharmacies under this law will not be where the money is made. There are far too many regulations to have this turn a profit quickly and you have a limited patient base and physician base who can even provide the marijuana recommendation and it’s only in non smokable form.

I am a pharmacist and researched the business plan and submitted a pharmacy application only to pull it once the state released more information on the regulations. Until we legalize it recreationally, this is useless but gotta start somewhere.

Trust me, there won’t be millions made with the current law. That’s actually why we haven’t seen anything super shady. They know this isn’t the one to cash in on

Wait 2 hours before you have more.


With edibles you may need to wait more than 2 hours in between!! Totally different kind of high than smoking (full body high) and the effects last longer.
