NEW ORLEANS / WVUE
NEW ORLEANS, LA — A slew of bills have been filed to expand Louisiana’s medical marijuana program, from increasing the number of licenses for pharmacies and growers allowed by state law to giving nurse practitioners the ability to recommend medical marijuana for a patient. Right now, Louisiana has one of the highest costs for medical marijuana in the country. Advocates said the high costs are tied to the fact that the state has just two growers.
“It definitely causes some issues with supply. It also causes some issue with contingency,” said Jeff Schmidtke, Executive Director of BioSciences Louisiana. “What is the backup? What is the population supposed to do when an entire harvest fails, either through failing tests, or spoilage, or contamination?”
Schmidtke said BioSciences is ready to hit the ground running as a cultivator of medical marijuana. But under current state law, he said his company can’t get a license.

METAIRIE, LA. — Legislators aim to expand state’s medical marijuana program Ahead of next week’s legislative session, several bills are being prepared that aim to improve the state’s medical-marijuana program.
According to the Medical Marijuana Legislative Study Commission, Louisiana has the fewest cultivation licenses and the highest prices for medical marijuana in the U.S. Currently, there are nine dispensaries in the state and two licenses that allow for the growing and processing of cannabis. Advocates are hoping to expand those numbers.
“One [bill] would be to increase the amount of cultivation licenses, right, so this provides greater supply,” said Jeff Schmidtke, the executive director for BioSciences of Louisiana. “It provides greater varietal options. I think it introduces competition to the market because it’s very limited at this point, with the end result most likely being the reduction of prices for the patien
