Arkansas Law
Arkansas has a medical marijuana card to provide safe access to marijuana products to patients. The program was approved by voters in 2016, and the state has established specific rules for patients, physicians, and dispensaries. The following is a summary of the Arkansas medical marijuana laws:
- Arkansas voters passed Amendment 98 (Issue 6), allowing 21 and older qualified patients to use marijuana products with a doctor’s approval.
- Patient requires proof of Arkansas residency.
- Patients 18 or older can qualify for medical marijuana if they are recommended by a certified Arkansas physician, but a parent/legal guardian must act as a caregiver and provide written consent.
- Patients can possess up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana every 14 days from licensed dispensaries.
- Visiting patients may buy medical marijuana if they hold a valid card (or equivalent) from their home state and provide certification.
The Arkansas Medical Marijuana Cultivation (AMMC) Program oversees cultivators, processors, and dispensaries, enforcing packaging, labeling, and testing rules.
