Med Card in Another State
Hi - have a med card from another state (where I live), how easy is it to use in Louisiana?
Thanks!

Felt like taking a closer look at this weird looking oil after taking off the mouthpiece and decided to post a comparison once again. GG4 is to the left (foggy, gritty) patients complaining about a discomforting and burnt taste upon hitting these right out of the seal and weird material inside of the chamber. Pineapple Breeze to the right (what Tank's distillate is supposed to look like).
Last picture for an up close look at the texture of this concentrate in comparison to a regular looking Pineapple Breeze.
If you too have had problems as well comment down below. Feel free to post your rant about this sick ass "program"
Anybody ever gotten or tried to get a refund? Got this tank all in one disposable and it taste burnt as hell and looks like there is something floating through the view window. 70 bucks for some bull crap.
I had good luck with these once or twice but they’ve been terrible lately.
I don't know how long we can order it for, from what I understand till November but Jgrows has some fire rosin from different growers
I’d be open to trying some of the $45 price point bags, but I’m not buying half-blind…. (More half-blind than normal….)
i can't prove it because i have very limited knowledge in the overlap of these two disciplines but i have a strong (high) feeling that hemp cultivation could be the answer to louisiana's receding coastline issue. in my stoned brain it's going something like hemp planted along the coast and then (homeostasis yadda yadda mitochondria yadda science) we... regain them?
really looking for a scientist or someone who knows anything about climate and hemp cultivation to tell me that i'm onto something here. if im not that's fine too but be gentle about it
Hey everybody! I’m from out of state visiting (from a state with no medicinal) I was wondering if anyone knows if I can still get a recommendation without a medical card and non-residency. Thank you so much for the help!
I'm from a state that has recreational. Is there any medical cannabis grown Louisiana that is grown in soil?
I made my first dispensary purchase in awhile. Picked up Pineapple Breeze and GG4. Pineapple Breeze to the left is how I remember most Tank distillate looking like although its unusually darker color, as if they used the full spectrum oil instead. But what highly concerns me is the GG4 Tank to the right, (last pic for closer look) straight out of the packaging. The oil looks cloudy and there's a decent sized bubble at the bottom on the ceramic coil of the hardware. Looking closer with a flashlight it almost looks like very tiny microscopic bubbles causing the cloudy look, the camera can't really pick it up. Anyone else got this one and looked like this?
Seems to be a really good resource for vendors and farms across the US we can support or try out as well as having/offering reviews and ratings for each. I have shopped with many of the sites on this list so it looks pretty accurate honestly!! Hope this can help people; I know times are tough out there.

Louisiana’s cannabis market is broken and I’m done just complaining about it. Building something instead.
Started LUCC (Louisiana Unified Cannabis Coalition), a patient-first nonprofit pushing for real reform: home cultivation, more licenses so it’s not just a handful of companies running everything, better access for patients and veterans, and support for our hemp industry too.
We just got registered with the state. Now I need help.
Board positions we’re filling:
**•** Board Chair
**•** Vice Chair
**•** Secretary
**•** Treasurer
**•** General Board Members (open seats)
Looking for people who care about this state’s cannabis future. Whether you’re a patient, a small business owner, someone in the industry, or just sick of watching Louisiana fall behind every other state with a real medical program. Background in law, nonprofit work, legislative/policy experience, or patient/veteran advocacy is a huge plus, but passion counts for a lot too.
It’s time to bring this thing to life. Let me know if you want to be a part of it. Let’s change our cannabis program for the better.
Flyer attached, drop a comment or DM me if you’re interested.
I started using cannabis November of 25’ as medicine. In my younger days, I smoked to get faded and hang out and have fun.
I stopped smoking from 2008-2025. In 2025 I was in a position, because of life happening, I was left with only one option - do I get on medication or not? I decided to get on medication.
When I started investigating, I was presented a decision - try medical cannabis OR go to the doctor and get some anxiety/depression meds. I decided to try cannabis.
It has alleviated my ailments. I have had to LEARN HOW TO USE IT. I tested all types of protocols figuring out how to dose for symptom relief-vs-functionality. I learned something IMMEDIATELY in this process… something maybe all yall already knew?…..
I learned that THC is THC. CBD is CBD. BUT TERPENES!?!?!?! Holy shit - I experience MASSIVELY different effects from an indica that’s Myrcene forward vs an indica that’s Limonene forward! It’s a wildly different experience!
I immediately became interested in terpene profiles and benefits of one vs the other. I experimented and documented. I documented everything through ChatGPT to help me make sense of what works and what doesn’t.
Thanks to my experimenting and research I now know how all types of various terpene profiles will affect me - I essentially now have a “cure for every ailment.”
When I am dosing for acute symptom relief during the day, I take the smallest little bong rip from my mini bong. It doesn’t get me faded, but it will have subtle noticeable effects. My Saturday morning routine is wake up and take a tiny bit of Coka and suddenly I’m locked into house projects and doing yard work…. That’s not my doing, that’s a result of cannabis.
So here’s my gripe - as a legitimate medical cannabis user, not just chasing getting faded, the terpene information on each strain is what dictates the effects of my medicine. They used to list terps. Then they suddenly removed them from dutchie…. And now it seems most strains don’t even show the total terp concentration. WHY have they removed this information? Like, how is it even legal for them to refuse to give it? Can I go to the dispensary and just ask the counter clerk to see the bag of different strains for 30 minutes looking a terps?
Have any of y’all been left in a little bit of a medical bind since the terp info has been removed? I certainly have.
Is there anything I can do as a patient to demand information on my medicine?
Terp trace has been TREMENDOUSLY helpful.
I CANNOT BUY YOUR CANNABIS WITHOUT KNOWING HOW THE HELL ITS GOING TO AFFECT ME!!
I have recently decided to get a rosin press so that I can make my own concentrate.
I got a press with a 4T jack and 4”x4” heating plates.
The top plate and the bottom plate can be set to different temps, as needed. There isn’t a built-in timer function, but that’s OK.
I have done some poking around online and found that people use a variety of diff temps and filter bags for achieving specific results.
Given that you all are subject to the same LA medical marijuana that I am - perhaps some of you can offer advice.
What temp ranges work well with the GDF flower? Do you have any tips or tricks? Any info that can help a noob move in a positive direction without wasting too much in the learning stages…. I already made one error last night…. Apparently not supposed to grind the herb first.
Whoops. I’ll have to do an ethanol extraction on that later… 😅😅
Hey guys. I'm a long-time member but I use a different account to talk about weed stuff now.
I don't know how many of you have experience with other markets, but I feel compelled to let you know that you are being manipulated.
What I mean by this isn't necessarily just the price gouging; let me explain.
As many of you know, Good Day Farms is one of the only places licensed to sell here. Odds are, if you have walked into any licensed dispensary in Louisiana, you have purchased or come in contact with a product made by them. If you don't know anything about Good Day Farms, they are currently facing a lawsuit because they are basically running a monopoly throughout the Midwest where they originate. You can read more on that here, and I urge you to before continuing. You might notice a few familiar "brands" on there (looking at you, Highway Hotel) Interestingly, the case has recently moved to Federal Court, which you can read more on here.
My fiancée is originally from Missouri, and when I met her, weed was not recreationally legal there. Between trips a few years ago (we typically visit maybe once every three months) a whole host of new dispensaries popped up. Every one gleaming and smelling like fresh paint and dank. Take some time and look around Missouri subreddits, and you will find horror stories of workers who worked for GDF or any of their brands at every level.
Here's my line of thinking, so hear me out. It isn't just about the shady business practices, it isn't just about the monopoly. Think about it: on the coast, people have been smoking weed legally for ages. A Californian mind cannot feasibly comprehend paying $70 for a gram of live resin or 35 dollars for a half a gram of distillate in cart form. Quality be damned. However, in places like Colorado and California, those things have been a part of the culture. By the time weed became recreationally legal, people already knew what it was worth and had a lot of contact with it, so there was only so much they could sell it for. Still today, people are buying live resin carts for $18 a gram there. Not from a loose dude on the street, but from a licensed dispensary.
Now cut to here. The south, where for most of my life even getting caught in the car with a cart probably meant you weren't going home that night. We do not really have the same "open and transparent" culture around weed, and that contributes to a lack of knowledge about it on a more scientific and formal level. However, by opening dispensaries and seeing how much we are WILLING to pay for weed, if they are successful, why would they lower the prices? I mean, supply and demand. Even if it becomes recreationally legal, the supply might go up but the demand will go up with it. I can tell you this: Missouri has had a legal recreational market for going on two years now and the prices might look great online but the taxes are KILLLERRR. They're disguising lower prices under egregious taxes added on that almost make it rival Louisiana. If I find one of my receipts I might post a pic.
So where is all this leading? Well-- in my brain, I figure that the government realized they screwed the pooch big time. All that sales tax revenue on cannabis in legal states is great, but if they were charging more the taxes would be higher and they would be making more. They can play a lot of catch up if they just make sure this time around they make the prices higher. We've been starved for so long--what won't we pay for? Good Day Farms saw the opportunity to do the same thing in Arkansas and Louisiana as they've done in Missouri with Story. I asked a budtender at my local dispo if they'd heard about the lawsuit when it first broke and they told me "yeah and I hope it doesn't go anywhere because we would be out of business."
Not to mention, I had an issue with a tank disposable I bought from them one time not hitting properly due to a bad battery connection and the manager had the nerve it in the back run air through the bottom and tell me it was fine. What are we even paying for if we can't get decent and polite service?
We didn't need a pilot program. You call the number you get a "Script"-- this WAS the pilot program.
And regardless of whatever-- if nothing else I said is true, does anyone not find it a little whack that a program that is strictly "medical" would be so unaffordable? I mean, the chance of socioeconomic instability rises with disability and/or medical issues, does it not?
Don't let this scammy system win. YOU are the consumer. YOU make the choice. Whether you post a bad review or not, when you spend money there, you are telling them that it works. That the pricing system is feasible. That it can be done. Don't let them win.
I don't have the answers but I do know as stoners we've built a culture around advocating against big pharma, and we cannot let them start whatever legalization we are going to get with the idea that we'll just take what we can get. I know a lot of people aren't down with the thca market-- and that's fine, but you have to remember that our responsibility as consumers starts with being responsible about what we support. What do we do?
Subject: Request for Legislative Investigation into Louisiana Medical Marijuana Pricing and Market Concentration
Dear Senator,
I am writing as a Louisiana resident concerned that the structure of Louisiana’s medical marijuana program is harming everyday patients through excessive prices and limited competition.
The Louisiana Department of Health states that Louisiana has only two licensed medical marijuana manufacturers: Advanced Biomedics LLC d/b/a Ilera Holistic Healthcare and Good Day Farm Louisiana LLC. LDH also states that retailers may sell only marijuana products manufactured by Louisiana-licensed firms, and that retail permits remain limited. This means Louisiana patients are not participating in a meaningfully competitive market. They are purchasing medicine within a tightly restricted state-created system.
I compared publicly listed menu data from Good Day Farm locations in Louisiana and Arkansas. The results raise serious concerns:
These differences suggest that Louisiana patients may be paying dramatically more for comparable medical cannabis products than patients in nearby markets. For many Louisianians, especially disabled patients, veterans, seniors, and people living on fixed incomes, these prices are not sustainable.
I respectfully ask that the Senate investigate whether Louisiana’s medical marijuana framework is producing excessive pricing, inadequate competition, vertical concentration, or barriers to entry that harm patients. At minimum, I ask the Legislature to consider reforms requiring price transparency, wholesale/retail markup reporting, expanded licensing, stronger conflict-of-interest review, and patient affordability protections.
This is not a request to deregulate safety. It is a request to protect patients from being trapped in an artificially limited medical market.
Respectfully,
[Your Name]
