Marijuana Laws in Louisiana: What’s new?

Louisiana may be the next state to completely legalize marijuana. While it’s still illegal under federal law, Louisiana has taken a step in the direction of total legalization. Medical marijuana is now legal as of June 2018 for a handful of medical conditions, and the list of qualifying illnesses has recently expanded. However, it’s important to note that even if recreational use is legalized, street vendors will not be allowed to sell the drug. With the increase in availability of marijuana products, some may try to take advantage of the situation. It’s crucial to be cautious and only purchase authorized products.
