Act No. 874 of the 1991 Louisiana legislative session legalized medical marijuana. Medical marijuana is used as a natural way to relieve pain, inflammation, anxiety, and more in patients qualified by a licensed physician to take it.

This plant-based therapy can be used a truly effective and holistic alternative to heavy narcotics in relieving pain.

At this time, medical marijuana is currently not covered by insurance.

The fee is a non-refundable $200 for a New Patient Virtual Consultation. Each follow up will be $100 every 2 months. We do not accept any insurance for this consultation.

You can pay online or over the phone when scheduling your appointment.

During your consultation with Dr. Warner, she will go over your medical history and lifestyle routines with you to determine if you have a condition that qualifies you to receive a recommendation for medical marijuana use.*

*Please note: receiving a recommendation for medical marijuana access is not guaranteed.

If your condition qualifies you for a recommendation, Dr. Warner will send your recommendation to a dispensary convenient to your location. 

With your recommendation from Dr. Warner, you will be able to access treatment as a medical marijuana patient in the state of Louisiana.  

You have to be a Louisiana resident to qualify for a recommendation. You also need to have a qualifying, debilitating, and/or chronic condition. 

This may include conditions such as multiple sclerosis, arthritis pain, neuropathic pain, anxiety, traumatic brain injury, and more. 

This is not an exhaustive list. 

During your consultation with Dr. Warner, she will determine whether or not you qualify for a recommendation, and take into account other medical conditions or medications that may interact with medical marijuana before recommending you to a dispensary.
