Arkansas Medical Marijuana Program Rules ($50 ADH Fee, 1-Year Card, No Home Grow)
Arkansas enforces a strictly medical cannabis program, with no legal recreational market.

The state imposes a strict purchase limit of 2.5 ounces per rolling 14-day period, tracked across all licensed dispensaries.

Certifications are only issued for the 18 specific qualifying conditions outlined by the state.
