Baton Rouge area residents don’t have to look far to find relief from a wide range of debilitating conditions. Over the past five years, Capitol Wellness Solutions’ accessibility, convenience and exhaustive product knowledge have turned it into an indispensable resource for all ages and genders.
Randy Mire, CEO and founder of the only dispensary in the area licensed to sell medical marijuana, says there’s a common misconception about the customers they serve. “You’re more likely to find a middle-aged female suffering from anxiety or sleeplessness, or a customer suffering from chronic pain, cancer, epilepsy or PTSD in my dispensaries,” Mire says.

Capitol Wellness Solutions has made accessibility its primary mission. In September, they added a second location at 1940 O’Neal Lane to complement their original location at 8037 Picardy Ave. and in June they’ll open a third location in what was previously Gold’s Gym at 17097 Airline Highway in Prairieville. At each store, trained and knowledgeable pharmacists are available to answer questions and provide guidance in choosing from a variety of marijuana products, including flower, edibles, metered dose inhalers, tinctures and topical creams. They can also help in selecting the right dosage.
Those who don’t want to travel can get many of their questions answered through the website at capitolpharmacy.com. The online store contains details about each product, including the effects and symptoms they will alleviate, and it will soon incorporate an AI chatbot to walk customers through the selection process, based upon their individual needs and preferences.
