KATC recently reported that Louisiana's medicinal marijuana legislation is expanding, to include a smokable form called Flower. In June Governor John Bel Edwards signed a measure into law making this new therapeutic cannabis legal starting January 1, 2022.

In Louisiana, Ilera Holistic Healthcare is the contract grower and manufacturer of medical marijuana and located at Southern University. Dr. Chanda Macias is the CEO of the holistic healthcare center and said the natural medicinal benefits of cannabis are vastly untapped. Dr. Macias explained the background research of Flower saying, "A lot of thorough work and research and intentionality had to go into producing a flower market because of the negative connotation of cannabis in itself. Education and emerging research show the benefits for patients." The doctor also shared promising research shows medical marijuana may be a valuable weapon to help fight addiction in the future. That is certainly good news beings that thousands die from overdoses every year.

We all know marijuana has an unmistakable aroma, some are better than others, but the bottom line is...weed has a loud, stinky odor. The potent smell of cannabis can also leave an irremovable stench in your home and vehicle too. If you need the benefits of smokable medicinal marijuana, but don't want the bad smell caused by the smoke, here's a few ways to avoid the odor.

1.) Use a natural order deodorizer
An inexpensive way to mask the order of cannabis is to use a natural odor deodorizer like Marsheepy natural bamboo charcoal purifying bags. They are all-natural without synthetic fragrances or harsh chemicals. So they are safe and there is no threat of contamination. They can be put in a container with your marijuana or wherever you store it. The sealed linen bag absorbs moisture in the air and holds it inside along with your odors. They only require a 2-hour sun recharge once a month.
