Cannabis in Louisiana

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I noticed that it is very underdeveloped. There is not a lot of information on it and I feel like I can find sources that would help flesh out this page. My impression on this page at first is that it was lackluster.

Evaluate the article
Overall, I think the lead section of this article is a good one. It states what you will find in the article and the information is correct. I definitely think this article is missing a lot of information, either pertaining to the decriminalization or to the storefronts that sell weed. I also think the cannabis culture in New Orleans is not expanded on enough and could definitely benefit this article. The article is not biased and is quite neutral. The sources used are not all from scholarly sources, but I think that is acceptable in this case. A lot of this information comes from New Orleans-based websites such as NOLA.com, which I think is a reliable source as it gives us information strictly about New Orleans. The article is easy to read, but I think that is because there is not much information to soak in on the page. The article is grammatically correct and well organized. There are no images on this page, which I think is a misstep. Images of dispensaries in the New Orleans area with information about them could easily be added. The talk page for this article consists of two people arguing if marijuana or cannabis is the proper term to be used. I will have to look into this to see which to use when editing this article. Overall, I think this article, so far, is proper and well but lacking information. I think talking about the storefronts that sell cannabis would be beneficial to this argument.
