North Little Rock, AR Dispensaries: Where to Use Your Arkansas Medical Card

North Little Rock residents have direct access to several Pulaski County dispensaries within a ten- to fifteen-minute drive across the I-30 or I-440 bridges into Little Rock proper, with operators including Suite 443 and Releaf Center serving the metro. Veterans should note that a state medical card carries different policy weight than VA prescribing. The Central Arkansas VA cannot prescribe cannabis under federal scheduling, but a state-issued card lets a patient legally purchase from licensed Arkansas dispensaries. The certification visit itself happens by telehealth in roughly fifteen minutes, after which the rest of the application moves online through the ADH portal at mmj.adh.arkansas.gov. Pay the fifty-dollar fee online with a debit or credit card (American Express is not accepted) or by check or money order if you mail a paper application. ADH typically approves within fourteen days. The card is valid for one year, no home cultivation is permitted, and the purchase ceiling is two and a half ounces per fourteen-day rolling window.
