What Forms of Medical Marijuana
Are Allowed in Louisiana?
The acceptable forms of medical marijuana in Louisiana, approved by the legislature, are oils, extracts, tinctures, sprays, capsules, pills, solutions, suspension, gelatin-based chewables, lotions, transdermal patches, suppositories, metered-dosed inhalation, and flower. See below for a description of the most common forms.
Flower
Flower refers to the trichome-covered part of a marijuana plant. Otherwise known as bud, the marijuana flower is a versatile medication and the most popular form of marijuana. While smoking in a pipe or joint is the most common way to medicate, vaporizing in a vaporizer, and incorporating into edibles are also viable treatment options.
Tinctures
Medical marijuana tinctures are packaged in a 30 mL glass bottle with a dropper. Tincture dosages are easy to self-titrate and measure. Tinctures are easily absorbed by the liver, so the effects are felt more quickly than in pill or gelatin based chewable form. Because of this, tinctures represent an effective method of consumption for precise dosing.
Topicals
Topicals can include marijuana-infused lotions, balms, and oils that are absorbed through the skin for localized relief of pain, soreness, and inflammation. Topicals are often used by patients who want the therapeutic benefits of marijuana without the cerebral euphoria associated with other delivery methods as they are non-intoxicating.
Edibles
These are marijuana-infused food products that can help boost appetite, reduce pain, treat weight loss in cancer patients, and prevent seizures. People should exercise caution when using edibles, especially for the first time. Patients should always adhere to the recommended dosage.
Extracts
Extracts are a type of concentrate created by extracting all the cannabioids and tarpenes found in the plant’s trichomes, and leaving behind the excess plant material. All having similar effects, extracts can come in many different forms, like oils, lotions, sprays, and more.
