Can You Get a Medical Marijuana Card for Traumatic Brain Injury in Louisiana?

Yes. Traumatic Brain Injury is explicitly listed as a qualifying condition in Louisiana under the Louisiana Medical Marijuana Program. A licensed Louisiana physician can certify any patient with a documented Traumatic Brain Injury diagnosis.

Bring any records that document your Traumatic Brain Injury diagnosis: provider notes, specialist reports, imaging, prior treatment summaries, or a current medication list. A Louisiana-licensed physician must confirm the diagnosis during your evaluation, so the more complete your documentation, the smoother the certification.

Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury commonly seek medical marijuana for symptoms including headaches, confusion, memory problems, mood changes, sleep disturbances. The cannabinoid profile (THC, CBD, terpenes) that works best varies by patient; this is something your evaluating physician and your dispensary pharmacist will help you titrate.

The certifying physician confirms a documented Traumatic Brain Injury diagnosis, reviews relevant medical records, and issues the certification through the Louisiana Medical Marijuana Program system. Because Traumatic Brain Injury is explicitly listed, no additional symptom mapping is needed.

Yes. Louisiana permits telehealth certifications for Traumatic Brain Injury, so your evaluation with a Louisiana-licensed physician can be completed by secure video or phone from home. The physician will confirm your Traumatic Brain Injury diagnosis from your records and clinical interview.

Louisiana medical marijuana certifications are valid for 1 year. Traumatic Brain Injury patients renew on the same 1 year cadence, regardless of which qualifying pathway initially supported the certification.
