When and how can I get it? Answering your questions as medical marijuana hits shelves in Louisiana


Four years ago, the state Legislature legalized the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes, making Louisiana the first state in the Deep South to authorize a medical marijuana program. Since then, patients have been waiting for the drug to reach the market, as the state's program faced multiple delays.

On Tuesday, one of the state's two growers will finally release the first round of marijuana tincture bottles to pharmacies, which will start doling the medicine out to patients.

The state's medical marijuana law includes reams of restrictions. It only allows for two growers of the drug: the Agricultural Centers at LSU and Southern University. Regulators have handed out nine licenses to pharmacies that will dispense the drug in regions throughout the state. Around 80 doctors were licensed to "recommend" the drug to patients as of late July.

When can I get it?

GB Sciences and LSU will release the first shipments of products to pharmacies Tuesday. Multiple pharmacy owners said they have a waiting list and are advising patients to wait until they are contacted with information that their medicine is ready to be picked up.

It will also depend on where you live. Baton Rouge's marijuana pharmacy, Capitol Wellness Solutions, will open Tuesday. The northshore region pharmacy, in Madisonville, will also open Tuesday, while the Lafayette pharmacy will open Wednesday.
