Louisiana HB373 establishes a temporary adult-use cannabis pilot program to evaluate the feasibility of a permanent program.
HB373 creates the Louisiana Cannabis Pilot Program, a temporary initiative to test the implementation of a permanent adult-use cannabis program. The pilot program aims to assess the practicality, identify potential challenges, and gather data on the effectiveness of a permanent program. It restricts the sale of adult-use cannabis to existing therapeutic marijuana retailers and imposes a 3.5% fee on the gross sales of both therapeutic and adult-use cannabis. The pilot program will run from January 1, 2027, to July 1, 2030, with annual permit renewals and fees of $5,000 per participant.
