Cannabis Laws in Louisiana

Is weed legal in Louisiana? Medical only — cannabis is legal for registered medical patients, but not for general adult use.

Louisiana medical patients obtain approved products from licensed retailers on an authorized clinician's recommendation. Raw-flower purchases are limited to 2.5 oz (71 g) per patient every 14 days. Retailers and production facilities are overseen by the Department of Health. The medical program does not authorize patient home cultivation.

Federally, cannabis is still a controlled substance nationwide — but that status is in flux. See where rescheduling stands →
