Louisiana Dispensary ATMs & Payment Services

Louisiana operates a growing medical marijuana program, offering regulated cannabis access to qualifying patients since 2015. While recreational cannabis remains illegal, the state has made progress with decriminalization of small amounts. In this strictly medical, cash-dominant landscape, dispensaries must ensure fast, secure access to cash and offer compliant, patient-friendly payment options. Greenstar ATM supports Louisiana dispensaries with reliable ATMs and cannabis-friendly debit processing, helping businesses improve efficiency, reduce risk, and deliver a better experience to patients.

Helping Louisiana Medical Marijuana Dispensaries Simplify Payments & Stay Cash-Ready

Louisiana Cannabis Laws at a Glance

  • Medical Marijuana (Legal & Operational):

      • Legalized in 2015 under Act 261, with dispensary operations beginning in 2019.

      • Patients with a qualifying condition and a recommendation from a licensed physician can purchase from state-licensed medical dispensaries.

      • The program is overseen by the Louisiana Department of Health and the Louisiana Board of Pharmacy.

      • Products include metered-dose inhalers, tinctures, edibles, and flower (approved in 2022).

  • Recreational Marijuana (Still Illegal, but Decriminalized):
    • Recreational use is still illegal in Louisiana.

    • In 2021, the state passed a law decriminalizing possession of 14 grams or less, reducing it to a civil fine of $100 with no jail time.

    • Recreational sales and possession above this amount remain criminal offenses.

Why Louisiana Dispensaries Need In-Store ATMs

Due to federal banking restrictions, Louisiana dispensaries cannot process traditional credit or debit card payments. That makes cash the default payment method. With an on-site ATM, your patients get immediate access to funds, reducing the chance of abandoned transactions and helping you maximize each visit.

What Greenstar ATM offers:

  • Free ATM Placement – We install, service, and maintain your ATM with no upfront cost.

  • Lease & Purchase Options – Flexible setups that grow with your business.

  • 24/7 Monitoring & Support – We ensure consistent ATM uptime and performance.

  • Built for Dispensaries – Secure, high-capacity ATMs designed for patient-serving environments.

Offer Compliant Debit Card Payments to Your Patients

For added convenience, many dispensaries are adding PIN-based debit card options. Greenstar ATM enables secure, compliant debit processing, giving your patients a smooth payment experience while helping you reduce the risks of handling large amounts of cash.

  • Faster Transactions – Speed up the checkout process and reduce lines.

  • Larger Average Sales – Patients paying with debit often spend more.

  • Lower Cash Risk – Improved security for staff and patients.
