LOUISIANA CANNABIS LAWS & THE LEGALIZATION OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA IN LOUISIANA

LOUISIANA CANNABIS LAWS & THE LEGALIZATION OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA IN LOUISIANA

In 2016, Louisiana became the first of the southeastern states to create a comprehensive medical cannabis program, when Governor John Bel Edwards signed SB 271. Unfortunately, a lack of necessary testing and supply chains, along with changing legislations, made the bill impossible to implement for several years. It wasn’t until August of 2019 that tested and approved marijuana was finally shipped to permitted pharmacies.
