Alexandria residents follow Louisiana's two-step process — telehealth visit with an authorized clinician, then visit a licensed retailer. From Downtown Alexandria and Pineville to Ball and Boyce, every step starts from home.
Book a real-time video visit with an authorized Louisiana clinician (MD, DO, NP, or APRN) through this platform. The clinician reviews your condition and, if in their sincere professional judgment therapeutic marijuana may be helpful, issues a written recommendation under La. R.S. 40:1046. Louisiana does not restrict access to a fixed list of qualifying conditions — the clinician decides based on your individual medical situation. There is no state application, no card to apply for, and no state registration fee.
Once your clinician issues a written recommendation, they send it directly to the licensed retailer of your choice. You visit the retailer with a valid Louisiana ID and purchase — no additional state step required. Recommendations are valid for up to one year. Louisiana law permits purchases of up to 71 grams of marijuana flower per 14-day period, plus other approved product forms including tinctures, oils, capsules, and topicals.
Whether you're in Downtown Alexandria, Pineville, Ball, Boyce, or anywhere across Rapides Parish — your authorized Louisiana clinician is a real-time video call away.

Alexandria sits at the geographic heart of Louisiana in Rapides Parish, making it the hub of Central Louisiana — a community of approximately 47,000 residents on the Red River, home to Louisiana State University at Alexandria (LSUA), the Rapides Parish Coliseum, Cenla's principal medical center at Christus St. Frances Cabrini Hospital, and the Kent Plantation House. Serving Rapides and surrounding parishes, Alexandria is the commercial, governmental, and healthcare center for the entire Central Louisiana region. Alexandria residents access Louisiana's Therapeutic Marijuana Program on the same statewide terms as every other Louisiana patient under La. R.S. 40:1046 — no state card, no state fee, and no state portal. AlexandriaLAMarijuana.clinic connects Alexandria residents with authorized Louisiana clinicians via telehealth.

This open standard means Alexandria patients with chronic pain, anxiety, PTSD, cancer, seizures, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Crohn's disease, HIV/AIDS, or virtually any other condition may qualify — based entirely on their clinician's individual clinical assessment.
