Your Questions, Answered
this is a text only
What are the cannabis advertising rules in Louisiana?
Marketing to the general public is tightly restricted, and what licensed retailers can say is set by statute and Louisiana Department of Health oversight. Our Louisiana cannabis advertising laws page walks through the current requirements.
Where can patients buy medical marijuana in Louisiana?
Louisiana patients buy at 29 permitted pharmacy sites, 10 primary pharmacies and 19 satellites, per the Louisiana Department of Health. Primary sites are in New Orleans, Kenner, Baton Rouge, Morgan City, Lafayette, Lake Charles, Pineville, Bossier City, Monroe and Covington, with satellites in cities such as Shreveport, Houma, Hammond and Slidell. Each pharmacy serves its own region, so local campaigns should map to the nearest site.
Do you only work with businesses in Louisiana?
No. Louisiana borders the medical programs in Texas, Arkansas, and Mississippi, and each one has its own ad rules. We plan multi-state campaigns across these markets, so one team and one report cover your whole footprint. Want to see what that looks like in Louisiana? Book a demo.
Is cannabis advertising allowed in Louisiana?
Only in narrow forms. Louisiana is medical-only and limits marketing to the general public. Search visibility, websites, and patient communication are where compliant marketing happens. Our Louisiana cannabis advertising laws breakdown covers the full rules.
How do you prove marketing drives sales?
You see which ads led to sales. We connect your campaign to your online menu and purchase data, then report revenue and return on ad spend for each campaign, creative, and audience. Clicks alone don't count as proof.
What size cannabis business do you work with?
From one door to a hundred. We size the Louisiana plan to your revenue goals. Are you a dispensary, an MSO, a delivery service, a cannabis brand, or a CBD brand? We run programs built for each.
How soon will we see results?
This all depends on how long your business has been open and what your growth goals are. We set expectations per channel during kickoff calls. Would you like to book a demo?
