How to Get Your Medical Marijuana Card in Louisiana: Your Step-by-Step Process
If you’re interested in getting a Louisiana medical marijuana card online, Elevate Holistics can help you do it in just three easy steps.
From start to finish, our MMJ doctors and expert cannabis agents will be there to walk you through it.
Let’s break it down.
Here’s our three-step process on how to get medical marijuana in Louisiana.
Step One:
Meet With an MMJ Doctor (Like Us!)
First things first: it’s time to book with Elevate Holistics.
Elevate Holistics has an incredible team of Louisiana medical marijuana doctors that work around the clock to give people like you the medical cannabis recommendations they deserve.
You’ll book your appointment and meet with one of our doctors 100% online, either over the phone or computer. All you’ll need is proof of LA residency.
During your appointment, your doctor will talk with you to see whether or not you qualify for medical cannabis. And if you don’t, you don’t pay a thing. They’ll also answer any questions you may need about the plant, products, or process.
Step Two:
Get Approved!
In most places, you have to register with the state’s medical marijuana program yourself before getting your MMJ card. However, Louisiana does things differently.
Once you’re approved by our doctors, they will send your MMJ card recommendation directly to a medical marijuana dispensary in the area.
This certification will then act as your medical marijuana card, allowing you to buy the products you want whenever you need them.
Step Three:
Start Shopping!
In Louisiana, you don’t have to apply to the state, nor do you have to pay a state fee to get your card. Instead, once your certification has been sent off to the dispensary of your choosing, you’re ready to start shopping.
Truly, getting your Louisiana medical marijuana card online is more effortless than you could imagine — and Elevate Holistics is here to make it even easier.
Louisiana Medical Marijuana Qualifying Conditions
The question of who qualifies for medical marijuana really depends on your doctor. Legislation passed in 2020 dramatically expanded the number of conditions that qualify for medical marijuana treatment in Louisiana.
This new law states that registered doctors can recommend medical marijuana to anyone with an ongoing condition that they believe will benefit from it, regardless of what that condition is.
However, the state still has a list of qualifying conditions that they typically recommend medical marijuana for.
This list includes many chronic physical and mental health conditions, including cancer, glaucoma, PTSD, HIV/AIDS, epilepsy and many more.
If you are unsure of whether or not you qualify for medical marijuana in Arkansas, it may be worth seeing a doctor and getting their recommendation.
There is some flexibility in terms of using marijuana as a treatment for chronic pain and nausea.
The Elevate
Holistics Promise
We are a team who believes in the medical benefits of cannabis; but, we’re also keenly aware that a large percentage of the population doesn’t know where to start on their cannabis journey. This is why we promise to treat every patient with respect, compassion, and love.
We’re all on our own journey and we promise to respect yours.
How Long Does it Take to Get a Louisiana Medical Marijuana Card?
Getting your medical marijuana card in Louisiana is a fairly quick process when compared to other states.
Once your physician provides the appropriate recommendation for medical marijuana and submits it to the Louisiana Medical Marijuana System, your order will be processed and sent to the pharmacy.
Once it is ready, you will be able to pick it up – in many cases, this happens on the same day. These prescriptions are tracked through Louisiana PMP Aware.
This is very convenient, as you won’t have to wait for a medical marijuana card to come in the mail or wait for an approval from a state board.
However, you may have to wait in order to get an appointment with a Louisiana medical marijuana doctor, as they are in high demand. Getting your medical marijuana recommendation through Elevate Holistics online can speed up this process tenfold.
Louisiana Medical Marijuana Doctors
Elevate Holistics is composed of a team of talented, professional medical marijuana doctors that want to help you get the cannabis products you deserve.
Our Louisiana MMJ doctors will meet with you over the phone or computer to see whether or not you qualify for medical cannabis. And, if you have any questions about the process, laws, or anything else in the world of MMJ, we have answers.
Every telehealth appointment is 100% HIPAA-compliant, private, and lasts only about 15 minutes. This way, there’s no disruption to your busy schedule.
If you’re ready to get your own Louisiana medical marijuana card online, let Elevate Holistics be your quick, affordable guide.
Can Minors Get Medical Cards in Louisiana?
Yes, minors can get medical marijuana cards in Louisiana; however, they cannot do so on their own.
Anyone under 18 must have a caregiver — typically a parent or guardian — apply to the MMJ program on their behalf. The caregiver is also responsible for going into dispensaries, buying products, transporting them, and even administering them to the minor patient.
As of right now, Elevate Holistics does not offer minor appointments in Louisiana.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is marijuana legal in Louisiana?
Medical marijuana is legal in Louisiana, but there are still restrictions around how much you can have, where you can buy it, and more.
Recreational cannabis, on the other hand, is not legal in Louisiana. Right now, having a medical marijuana card is the only way to legally access cannabis products in the Creole State.
What documents are needed to get your medical marijuana card in Louisiana?
In order to get your Louisiana medical marijuana card, you’ll have to have the following pieces of documentation:
- Proof of identity
- Copy of the signed medical marijuana certification from your doctor
Louisiana doesn’t require any state payments!
What are the reasons to get a medical card in Louisiana?
People can get a Louisiana medical marijuana card for various reasons. This includes pain, sleep, anxiety, and more.
However, most people turn to MMJ because of the natural healing aspects of the plant. Medical cannabis offers therapeutic attributes with much lower risks than your average opiate or prescription medication, making it a very appealing option for most consumers.
How much does a medical marijuana card cost in Louisiana?
In order to get medical marijuana in Louisiana, you’ll have to pay for your physician’s recommendation as well as the cost of the product.
The cost of a recommendation can vary. Elevate Holistics offers online appointments starting at $130 each. If you see a physician in person, they may end up charging $200 or more for the recommendation appointment.
It’s important to note that health insurance companies generally don’t cover the cost of medical marijuana appointments or products, as it is still illegal under federal law.
Can I be a medical marijuana caregiver in Louisiana?
Caregiver laws in Louisiana are very strict. Right now, the only patients who can have a caregiver are those who are under the age of 18 and have autism spectrum disorder.
In this case, the caregiver must be the patient’s parent or legal guardian. There aren’t currently any caregiver provisions for disabled adults or minors with other medical conditions.
How much MMJ can you possess in Louisiana?
Right now, medical marijuana patients can possess up to a one-month supply of the products they need, as determined by their physician.
What do Louisiana’s medical marijuana laws look like?
You can learn all about Louisiana medical marijuana laws in our post here.
Can you grow marijuana at home in Louisiana?
No, Louisiana residents with a medical marijuana recommendation cannot grow their own marijuana.
There are currently only two licensed growers in the entire state. Growing your own marijuana can come with harsh legal consequences, so we’d strongly avoid doing so.
Does Louisiana offer medical marijuana reciprocity?
Louisiana does not currently have any reciprocity laws in place. This means that if you have a medical marijuana card from another state, you cannot use it to purchase medical marijuana in Louisiana.
You must be a Louisiana resident in order to purchase medical marijuana in the state.
Are there medical marijuana dispensaries in Louisiana?
Weed in Louisiana is not sold through traditional dispensaries, but rather through special pharmacies that are licensed by the state. There are currently nine of these pharmacies throughout Louisiana, with locations in all of the state’s major cities. The state can opt to license and open more dispensaries in the future as well.
Right now, residents in rural or suburban areas may have to make a long drive to the dispensary of their choice.
When a medical marijuana doctor files a recommendation for you, they will send it to the pharmacy that is closest to you.
The staff at these pharmacies have extensive knowledge of medical marijuana and can help you better understand the products you will be using.
Most dispensaries in Louisiana allow you to order your cannabis online and pick it up at the dispensary.
