BATON ROUGE - One of Louisiana's two medical marijuana cultivators will host its second annual gala to raise money to enhance patient access to the drug. 

Ilera Holistic Healthcare is one of two of the state's licensed cultivators and the host of Tuesday night's gala. The gala will raise money for Patient Access to Medicine, a program that partners with healthcare providers to get patients legal access to medical marijuana if they need it.
