Several new laws concerning marijuana are now in effect across Louisiana.
One new law prevents police from using the smell of marijuana to enter your home without a warrant.
Other new laws when it comes to marijuana include expanding the number of medical marijuana pharmacies allowed to operate in the state, allowing out-of-state patients to use their prescription in Louisiana, allowing nurse practitioners to prescribe marijuana as medical treatment, and protection from employment discrimination against public employees being treated with medical marijuana.
Another new law does make it a crime to use marijuana in a motor vehicle.
