The state’s tenth and final licensed medical marijuana pharmacy opens in Jefferson Parish. Crescent City Therapeutics Owner Lovie Rodgers says the Kenner pharmacy will serve the state’s second most populated parish.
“Not only Jefferson Parish but region one which includes Orleans, St. Bernard, and Plaquemines Parishes. From Kenner to New Orleans East all the way south as Grand Isle,” said Rodgers.
The permit for the pharmacy was the state’s most sought-after permit with 33 applications. Crescent City Therapeutics is the second licensed pharmacy in New Orleans metropolitan area.
Rodgers says the state-of-the-art facility houses a veteran group of experts. The new facility offers walk-in services, free delivery, and private consultation rooms.
“Additionally, Crescent City Therapeutics has a convenient drive-thru,” Rodgers said. “You know, last week with all that rain, its great to be able to take advantage coming through that drive-thru and then driving off and going on with your day.”
Rodgers says medical marijuana is another option for patients who don’t want to use opiates or other products that could cause harmful side effects. And the new location offers a personalized experience for individuals.
“We’ve created a space,” he said. “A building that patients can come in and that they feel comfortable coming in seeing professionals. A pharmacist, a pharmacy technician, and leaving out comfortable and confident in their experience.”
