Good afternoon, esteemed members of the Louisiana Office of Drug Policy,

Thank you for the opportunity to speak before you today. My name is Tony Landry, and I stand here not just as an advocate but as a voice for the countless Louisianans—especially our veterans and patients—who are deeply affected by the recent restrictions on hemp-derived THC products.

As policymakers dedicated to the health and well-being of our state, you understand the need for thoughtful regulation. But in our effort to ensure public safety, we must also consider the real, human impact of these restrictions on those who rely on these products for relief. For many—especially veterans struggling with PTSD, individuals battling chronic pain, and patients facing debilitating conditions—hemp-derived THC is not a luxury. It is a necessity.

Louisiana veterans have served our country with honor, and yet, many return home only to find themselves in an ongoing battle—one against pain, trauma, and, too often, a healthcare system that does not fully meet their needs. Many of these men and women have turned to hemp-derived THC as a safe, legal alternative to opioids and other addictive medications. Now, with these new restrictions, our access to effective relief has been severely limited. I ask you: What message does this send to those who have sacrificed so much for us?

Beyond our veterans, countless other Louisiana residents—hardworking individuals, the elderly, those living with disabilities—are finding themselves in an impossible situation. The high cost of medical cannabis and reduced potency of legally available hemp products means they must either increase their costs by purchasing more or turn to unregulated and potentially unsafe alternatives.

Some may even be forced back into using substances with far greater health risks, including opioids and alcohol. About 3-400 Louisiana residents die from alcohol related traffic fatalities each year yet we approve of selling high potency alcohol nips on the candy isle and Sunny D vodka seltzers in the grocery stores.

In 2023 Louisiana had 1,130 opioid deaths. https://lodss.ldh.la.gov/

Severely restricting hemp derived THC is not a policy that protects public health; People aren’t dying from THC, this is a policy that forces our most vulnerable citizens into desperate situations. Additionally, we cannot ignore the economic consequences. Louisiana’s hemp industry has the potential to create jobs, generate tax revenue, and provide a safe, regulated market for those who need these products. Other states have embraced this industry, reaping the benefits while ensuring consumer safety. If we continue down this restrictive path, we risk pushing businesses out of Louisiana, losing economic opportunities, and failing the very people we aim to protect.

I urge you to reconsider these restrictions—not just as policymakers, but as compassionate leaders who care about the well-being of your fellow citizens. We must find a balanced approach, one that ensures public safety without stripping away access to critical relief.

Let us not push our veterans, our patients, and our communities into the shadows. Let us create policies that reflect empathy, common sense, and the reality of those who are suffering. I respectfully ask this board to recommend rescinding these restrictions and restoring access to hemp-derived THC products that truly meet the needs of Louisiana’s people.

Together, we can build a future where compassion and public safety go hand in hand.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

What’s your favorites? I love sativA for the daytime and Indica for night. I really loved the Mexican flan at Lafayette location. I’m in Opelousas and would have to drive an hour to New Iberia just to get Mexican flan. Shows the new Iberia location has more in stock than on Guilbeau. I’m ready for some new stuff. There’s no selections. Plus these prices. Yeeee yiy

We need to advocate for new strains to be released. I’m tired of the same ol shit!

At this point ,I'm not wasting anymore money on edible. Even the live resin and rso they do little to nothing for me. It aucks

For the prices we’re paying, this is unacceptable. Used two different scales both were 3.45g. And I stopped weighing for a minute cause everything would come out to 3.6 but I’m glad I caught this cause next time I’m weighting before l leave the dispo parking lot. Laugh if you want about a .05 but I work hard for my money and have to drive 30min from home to get this stuff.

if yall had a choice between the go ice and the cookies disposable which is your top choice?

I’ve been informed that we can now shop at any dispensary in Louisiana not just the original one we signed up with, will I need to bring anything to verify my prescription if I go to a location I have never shopped at before or am I on some kind of list

Put it in my freezer for 30 minutes and it's still liquid form. Never had this problem. Slides right off the dab tool.

Looking for the best user friendly, on the budget dab rig.

Nobody can comment or post in this sub reddit asking for recommendations on products available in the Louisiana MMJ program without 5+ making the post about the politics of the program or straight up telling people to just buy online. This sub reddit is about the Louisiana medical program and further legalization . You cannot post or ask anything without people telling you you're stupid for buying from GDF when it's the only option for some legality wise. Anyone whose been on this sub reddit obviously knows the majors flaws with the program we don't need comments on every single post about it.Like could we pleqse make posts and reviews without people shitting on every single thing.

I just got my MMJ card and went "Shopping" at CSW. The in-store shopping experience SUCKS, IMO. Like a cross between the DMV and a Jiffy Lube. Anyway, I purchased Hawaiian Rain 0.5g (364mg THC) vape and Lilac Diesel flower. NEITHER of these give a good high. They both taste fantastic, but that's about it.

Any similar experiences? Did I just pick two duds? What are some recommendations for Flower and Vape?

Can I go to another state and they pull up my prescription? I heard MS is a lot cheaper? Also, I'm not looking to buy anymore firearms, but I have multiple in my home. Is that ok?

There has been an uptick in marijuana patients getting charged for the legally covered Louisiana medical marijuana that we are allowed to purchase in our state dispensaries. Some of the patients are going to be contacting Mike smalls attorney at law very soon to get this civil rights violation in swing. Is there anybody else that would be willing to share a similar experience with lasalle parish sheriffs office ?

It’s official we can shop anywhere. We just need to use the unique personal identifier. Just ask for it when you go to your normal dispensary. Yes they are all connected you cant over purchase.

Seems like every time I check the inventory gets worse and worse .

New proposed law in Colorado would ban customers under 26 years of age from purchasing products with more than 10% thc and any inhaled product with added flavoring.

I’ve been looking at jobs and see that LCMC has requires a “health assessment” and drug test. While I could ask their HR, I’m not inclined to raise any red flags. Has anyone been through this or know what it entails? Are they done at the same time? Also, do they do random screening once employed? (Yes, I am a responsible person, and do not smoke on the job.)
