Angela Owings Broussard
LAMMJ Founder
As a chronic pain patient following a motor vehicle accident, I spent the next 15 years slowly poisoning my body with doctor-prescribed pharmaceuticals that didn't even touch my severe, unrelenting chronic pain and caused more problems with my health.
At the time there was nothing else available.
As soon as Louisiana legalized medical marijuana (MMJ), I signed up.
MMJ has changed my life and I have been spreading the word ever since, hoping to spare anyone else the pain.
Volunteer Advocacy
It’s Important
I advocate for a physician designed transition protocol to help patients transition from opioids to MMJ. I also advocate for both a state and national MMJ Patients' Bill of Rights to protect medical patients from the ever-changing recreational market. The closest to my heart, however, is my push to allow HOMEGROW rights for patients not just in Louisiana but all over the country.
