Making medical marijuana a reality
There are numerous providers who are licensed to prescribe medical marijuana. This includes Doctors, Nurse Practitioners, Psychiatrists and more with the new updated laws. It’s important to note that a diagnosis is required before receiving your recommendation from a licensed physician.
Once your recommendation is registered in the database, you will be able to visit one of the ten medical marijuana “dispensaries” or pharmacies within each region. Unlike the passionate cannabis enthusiasts you’ll find in legal states, MMJ pharmacies in Louisiana are staffed with certified pharmacists and medically educated employees.
Most recommendations will be established for 12 months from the day you speak to your medical cannabis provider. However, some providers write recommendations for shorter periods of time. One thing to keep in mind is that health insurance will not cover medical marijuana. On average, patients will spend $200+ depending on the products required. The cost of the recommendation is separate from the cost of your medical cannabis products.
