A Louisiana patient resource · General information, not medical advice
Qualifying conditions

There is no closed condition list.

A licensed Louisiana clinician determines whether a condition is debilitating. The examples below are illustrative—not a checklist, diagnosis, or promise of a recommendation.

Program rules change. Verify current requirements with the Louisiana Department of Health or a licensed clinician.

Clinician discretion matters. Louisiana does not limit recommendations to a closed list of diagnoses. A licensed Louisiana clinician evaluates your circumstances and determines whether a condition is debilitating.

No condition listed here is described as being treated or cured by cannabis. This resource does not provide medical advice or predict clinical decisions.

Preparing for a conversation

You may wish to ask a licensed clinician what records could help them understand your health history, how they approach an evaluation, what it costs, and what follow-up would involve. Relevant medical records can include a diagnosis letter, imaging, treatment history, or medication list.

If you have a health concern, talk with a licensed health professional. For an urgent or emergency concern, contact local emergency services.
