Louisiana doesn’t have a process for patients to appoint caregivers yet.

Becoming a medical cannabis patient is the only way to purchase cannabis legally in Louisiana. Patients also gain access to additional benefits, such as increased protections and proper medical guidance for their condition and dosage.

Louisiana does not charge a state registration fee for your medical card, so patients are only responsible for the cost of the practitioner’s evaluation. NuggMD offers low-cost, risk-free Louisiana medical cannabis evaluations: you’re approved for medical cannabis or you get your money back.

Patients in Louisiana can purchase up to 2.5 ounces of flower every 14 days or a 30-day supply of any other product types.

Patients can buy medical cannabis at any of the state’s nine dispensaries or their satellite locations once they open up. Recreational cannabis isn’t legal yet in the state.

With NuggMD, if you’re not approved get your money back, automatically. We believe everyone deserves access to a qualified medical cannabis doctor, and the cost of an evaluation shouldn’t be a barrier.

If you’re not approved for your medical marijuana certification, your evaluation is free.

If you sign up and pay for your evaluation, but then cancel before your evaluation, there is a small $10 fee for the payment processing.

Once you’ve been approved and issued your certification, a refund for services will no longer be available. Please send an email to support@nuggmd.com with the subject line “Refund Request” and a brief description of your issue.

We want to make sure you’re 100% satisfied with your purchase being that you, the customer, are the most important thing to us! Once a refund has been initiated, please allow 3-5 business days for the funds to transfer back to the card you used for the transaction. If any issues arise, please feel free to reach back out for further assistance.

You’re not required to get a medical marijuana card in Louisiana. Instead, your purchase is similar to picking up a prescription at the pharmacy. Your practitioner will send your recommendation to the dispensary, and you’ll use your ID to pick up your medicine. Please allow 24 to 48 hours for your recommendation to be processed.

Absolutely! You can see any practitioner you choose for your renewal evaluation. When you transfer to NuggMD, be sure to bring your medical records to help your friendly NuggMD practitioner provide a thorough and complete evaluation.

Louisiana doesn’t issue medical marijuana cards to its patients. That said, you can ask for a copy of your recommendation. Whether another state accepts your documentation is up to the state you’re visiting. Some states require that you see an in-state physician and register as a visiting patient. Other states allow you to possess but not purchase cannabis. Check with the state you’re traveling to at least 30 days before you leave so you can plan ahead.
