While some states have begun experimenting with marijuana legalization and decriminalization, Louisiana remains a state that has very strict marijuana laws.
In 2017 lawmakers finally passed a law that established protections for patients and caregivers for the medical use of cannabis in Louisiana.
Still, despite moves towards making legislature regarding medical marijuana, recreational marijuana is far from legal.
If you are found to be in possession of marijuana, it is your first conviction, and you have less than 14 grams, you could find yourself in the parish jail for up to 15 days and have to pay $300 in fines. Under these circumstances but with more than 14g, you could land in the parish jail for up to 6 months.
If you are arrested for possession, you don’t necessarily have to face a conviction. You need to get out of jail and start working with a lawyer on your case.
