Is THCA legal in Louisiana?

Purchase age

Market status
medical

The caveats that matter

  • ALL inhalable hemp is banned at retail (flower, prerolls, vapes, carts, dabs) — the ban is form-based, so THCA content is irrelevant
  • Non-inhalable consumable hemp survives with caps: 5 mg total THC/serving, 40 mg/package, LDH registration, 21+ only
  • Total THC (incl. THCA) is the measuring stick for the products that remain legal

Enforcement, in practice

LDH/ATC actively police the consumable hemp registry; inhalable products are pulled and taxed products tracked via the Dept. of Revenue.

Last checked 2026-08-06 — laws change. This is decision support, not legal advice.
