Who Qualifies for Medical Marijuana Treatment in Louisiana?
In 2020, Governor John Bel Edwards signed into law House Bill No. 819, expanding the conditions for which doctors can legally recommend marijuana to their patients. Initially, it was just a list of sixteen approved medical conditions. With the passage of the new bill, the list of medical conditions that are legally treatable with marijuana will no longer be so finite.
As a result of the new bill, doctors can now recommend medical marijuana for any medical condition they feel will benefit the patient. This includes conditions such as: chronic pain, glaucoma, and PTSD, among many others.
In order to qualify and legally purchase medical marijuana from licensed dispensaries, patients must be diagnosed with a qualifying medical condition and have a recommendation from a Louisiana physician.
To be approved, patients must first schedule an evaluation with a certified physician.
How Do I Find a Certified Doctor?
At Louisiana Marijuana Card, compassionate physicians see patients for medical marijuana evaluations. The doctors will have a 15-20 minute conversation with the patient to review their medical history, condition, and symptoms to determine if medical marijuana is right for them.
While Louisiana Marijuana Card does have physical office locations, all appointments are currently conducted through a safe, HIPAA-compliant telemedicine platform. Patients can connect from a smartphone, tablet, or laptop for a secure video conference with one of the certified physicians.
This mitigates any risk of exposure to COVID-19 and also allows patients from across the state the ease and convenience of avoiding drive time and sitting in a waiting room.
What Are the Benefits of Using Medical Marijuana?
