2018-20

Any physician licensed by and in good standing with the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners to practice medicine in Louisiana may recommend medical marijuana to any patient suffering from a debilitating medical condition with whom he (or she) shares a bona fide doctor-patient relationship.


LA Rev Stat § 40:1046 (2020)

Any condition not otherwise specified in this Subparagraph that a physician, in his medical opinion, considers debilitating to an individual patient and is qualified through his medical education and training to treat.


An important update to Louisiana's MMJ Laws

SPECIFIC ILLNESSES & CONDITIONS

Neon Sign reading "open" to indicate that most conditions will qualify if severe enough.

CAN YOU GET MMJ TO HELP YOUR ILLNESS OR CONDITION?

First and foremost, start with obtaining your record(s).  Most physicians will have a form you can print out and request your medical records. Please give yourself extra time to request any records as sometimes it takes a few days. 


Because MMJ is such a different type of medication, I suggest seeing a doctor who specializes specifically in marijuana. Also, I want to make sure that you do not feel judged or turned away--ESPECIALLY if you are transitioning off opioids; that is hard enough.


As a state, we are new to MMJ so we are still battling the stigma associated with the plant.  I have personally encountered it not only in my personal life but also in my interactions with individuals in the medical field...I hope that as a group we can change some minds about it. 


In note of that background noise, please remember that everybody's doctor is different, so please contact whomever YOU choose and make sure YOU are prepared with all of your paperwork when you go (& know that we'll be rooting for you!)
