METAIRIE MEDICAL MARIJUANA PHARMACY UP FOR STATE APPROVAL TUESDAY

A Metairie business could obtain permission Tuesday to operate one of the state's first medical marijuana pharmacies.  The Louisiana Pharmacy Board is meeting in Baton Rouge for two days to discuss, and possibly give final approval, to companies seeking to obtain one of the state's operating permits.

According to the board's agenda, 44 applicants have applied for permits, although some of those companies have withdrawn from consideration.

The Rx Greenhouse announced in February its plans to open an office building at 3131 North Causeway Boulevard in Metairie after gaining preliminary approval from a state subcommittee.  If approved it would open by September, the pharmacy owners have said.
