Delta MedMar has officially joined the Story Cannabis family, bringing some exciting changes to the medical cannabis community in Northeast Louisiana. If you’re a current Delta MedMar patient—or someone new to cannabis care—you might have questions about what this means for you.
With locations in Ruston and Monroe, and a new West Monroe store opening in summer 2025, this blog will walk you through what’s changing, what’s staying the same, and how Story Cannabis is here to support you every step of the way.
In early 2025, Delta MedMar joined Story Cannabis’ growing community as part of Story’s expansion into Louisiana. Already serving patients across Maryland, Arizona, Ohio, and New Jersey, Story Cannabis is excited to expand into Louisiana with a focus on patient care and community connection. This transition isn’t just about changing the name on the door—it’s about enhancing your experience. From enhancing product options to improving online ordering to offering more personalized service and patient education, Story is here to make your visits easier, more informative, and more rewarding—while keeping the local feel you’ve always appreciated

What Local Shoppers Can Expect

Patients can expect:
- Clean, modern spaces focused on comfort
- In-depth product education
- A curated menu of medical cannabis products tailored to Louisiana’s patient needs
- Community-focused events like grand re-openings, patient education days, and appreciation events
Story Cannabis believes in serving more than just patients—it serves communities. In Louisiana, this includes:

- Investing in patient advocacy and access
Medical Services Only – No Recreational Sales
In Louisiana, all cannabis dispensaries—including Story Cannabis—are strictly medical-only. That means you’ll need a valid medical cannabis recommendation to shop at any of our locations in Ruston, Monroe, or the soon-to-open West Monroe store.
The good news? Louisiana law allows physicians to recommend medical marijuana for any condition they consider debilitating to a patient. Some of the most common qualifying conditions include:
- Anxiety
- Insomnia
- Chronic or cancer-related pain
- Seizure disorders and epilepsy
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Autism spectrum disorder
- Glaucoma and Crohn’s disease
- Multiple sclerosis
- Severe muscle spasms and spasticity
- AIDS or positive HIV status
- Muscular dystrophy
…and many others, based on your doctor’s evaluation.
If you don’t yet have your medical card, you may qualify for a free recommendation through, GoodCannaNow.com. The process is quick, confidential, and designed to help more patients access safe, legal relief.
