Louisiana State Process for Getting
Your Medical Marijuana Card
- Once a doctor on the Heally platform approves you, you can sit back and relax! Louisiana does not offer a physical medical marijuana card so there’s no state paperwork. Instead, your name will be added to the statewide medical cannabis patient registry by your Heally Physician.
- Your doctor’s certificate will be faxed to your pharmacy of choice. There are currently nine licensed pharmacies in the state of Louisiana. If you want to change your pharmacy at any time please contact us at support@getheally.com.
- You can find a list of pharmacies here.
- As soon as the pharmacy receives your certificate, you can legally purchase medical marijuana products there*. Ensure you bring a valid form of photo identification, such as a driver’s license, with you to the pharmacy.
Please note: Since the legalization of marijuana in raw or crude form (i.e. flower) in January of 2022, pharmacies are experiencing a heavy volume of new patients. This has resulted in processing delays.
