Sort of! Weed is partially legal in Metairie.

In Metairie, Louisiana, marijuana laws follow the state's strict regulations, treating possession and use of cannabis as criminal offenses. If you're caught with up to 14 grams of marijuana, you could face fines and even jail time. For first-time offenders, this might mean up to 15 days in jail and a fine, with penalties getting tougher for repeat offenses. The approach here remains quite strict compared to some other places.

However, there's a growing push for change in Metairie. More people are advocating for marijuana reform, inspired by the state's expanding medical marijuana program, which allows patients with certain medical conditions to use cannabis for therapeutic purposes. This shift is fueling local discussions about the benefits of decriminalization and better access to medical marijuana. Many in Metairie are hoping for a more progressive approach to cannabis laws in the near future.
