Report Inaccurate Information
New Orleans cannabis policy evolves with city-council action, mayoral directive, and DA-office posture. NOPD operational guidance and the §54-507 ordinance have been amended multiple times since 2010. If you notice information on this site that is outdated or incorrect, please reach out and let us know. Include the page URL and the specific information that needs correction so we can update it promptly.
Suggest Improvements
Is there a neighborhood, festival, university, or topic we haven't covered well enough? A NOPD policy change we should reflect? A jazz-cultural figure we should add to the Culture section? We'd love to hear your suggestions for making BigEasyCannabis.com more useful.
About Our Team
BigEasyCannabis.com is maintained by a small team of researchers and writers committed to providing free, accurate cannabis information. We are not affiliated with any pharmacy, producer, industry group, advocacy organization, or law firm. Our only goal is to make New Orleans cannabis law and resources accessible.
For Legal Advice
This site does not provide legal advice. For arrest situations, employment matters, university student-conduct proceedings, or pharmacy-enrollment decisions, consult a Louisiana-licensed attorney. The Louisiana State Bar Association maintains a Lawyer Referral Service. The New Orleans Bar Association covers Orleans Parish specifically.
For Medical Questions
This site does not provide medical advice. For cannabis-therapeutic questions, consult a Louisiana-licensed physician familiar with cannabinoid pharmacology and the Louisiana Act 96 of 2020 framework. The Louisiana Cannabis Industry Association and NORML Louisiana maintain referral lists of recommending physicians.
For University Conduct Questions
Tulane, Loyola, UNO, Xavier, and Dillard each have their own DFSCA-compliant cannabis policies and student-conduct processes. Each university's Office of Student Conduct or Office of the Dean of Students is the appropriate first point of contact for student-conduct questions. Students facing serious sanctions should consult the university's student-advocate office and a Louisiana-licensed attorney.
For Federal-Workplace Questions
If you work for a DOT-regulated employer, the Department of Defense, NASA Michoud, the Coast Guard, the FBI, federal contractors at Federal City in Algiers, or any other federally-tested position, the Louisiana medical-cannabis recommendation does not protect you. Consult an employment attorney before any cannabis-related decision.
