There is no state registration or card required in Louisiana. Patients are required to obtain an annual certification from their healthcare provider, who then sends the recommendation directly to the patient's chosen dispensary. This process simplifies access for eligible patients. Medical marijuana certifications are valid for one year from the date of issuance, and annual certification renewal is required.
