Overview

In Shreveport, Louisiana, marijuana laws align with the state's overall regulations, which still classify cannabis possession and use as criminal offenses. If you're found with up to 14 grams of marijuana, you could face fines and possible jail time. For first-time offenders, this typically means up to 15 days in jail and a fine, with harsher penalties for repeat offenses. The city, like much of the state, maintains a relatively strict stance on marijuana.

However, there's a noticeable shift in attitudes towards marijuana in Shreveport. More people are advocating for reform, particularly in light of Louisiana's growing medical marijuana program. This program allows patients with specific medical conditions to use cannabis for therapeutic purposes, and its expansion has sparked local conversations about the potential benefits of decriminalizing marijuana and increasing access for medical use. The community is gradually leaning towards a more progressive view on cannabis, hoping for changes that reflect a more relaxed approach to regulation.
