NEW ORLEANS – Louisiana-based TeleLeaf, a virtual medical marijuana program connecting patients with doctors, said the state of the industry is strong since the legalization of “flower” (smokable marijuana) in Louisiana in early 2022.
TeleLeaf said flower – the raw, crude form of the marijuana plant – is known for its potent “entourage effect,” synchronizing with the body’s already existing cannabinoids to treat illnesses such as anxiety, chronic pain, arthritis, insomnia and more. Flower was officially released to medical marijuana pharmacies across Louisiana on Jan. 3, 2022, and demand has increased statewide.
