With offices at a Baton Rouge office, Dr. Bobby Franklin, M.D. works with Baton Rouge patients on cannabis program enrollment. Cards remain active for one year in most cases, with the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners sending renewal notices when expiration approaches. Established patients sometimes complete renewals by video visit under the state's telehealth provisions. All records are maintained securely and not shared without patient authorization. Approved patients can purchase products from any Louisiana-licensed pharmacy in Louisiana. During the visit, the clinician discusses prior diagnoses, examines the patient, and decides whether certification is medically appropriate. Patients qualifying under Act 261 (the Louisiana Therapeutic Marijuana Act) are added to the Louisiana Therapeutic Marijuana Program registry maintained by the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners. State-recognized conditions include cancer, severe muscle spasms, intractable pain, glaucoma, PTSD, autism, Crohn's, MS, and Parkinson's, with the physician's clinical judgment guiding eligibility. Once certified, patients register with the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners portal, pay the program fee, and receive a physician recommendation. Homebound or minor patients may designate a registered caregiver to handle purchases on their behalf.
