3. And then there's Hoagy Carmichael

Not from Louisiana, but a guy who wrote some of the greats from the American Songbook, talked about muggles (marijuana) too.

"It's the summer of 1923. We took to quarts of bathtub gin, a package of muggles, and headed for the black-and-tan joint where King Oliver's band was playing."

King Oliver was Armstrong's mentor.
