Staying Compliant with the Louisiana Bureau of Cannabis Control
Getting to know regulations in Louisiana
Louisiana has legalized Medical Marijuana, with a bill passed in 2015 establishing the necessary regulations for providing marijuana to patients in need. It wasn't until 2019 that medical cannabis was first dispensed under this program. The Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) is responsible for overseeing the state's medical cannabis program.
While recreational marijuana remains illegal in Louisiana, the possession of up to 14 grams was decriminalized in 2021. Although there is still progress to be made, this decriminalization represents a positive step forward.
