Medical Marijuana in Benton, Arkansas
Saline County • Central Arkansas
Benton residents have direct dispensary access about twenty minutes east on Interstate 30 in the Little Rock cluster, with Suite 443 and Releaf Center as the closest Pulaski County operators.
Telehealth removes the second commute that otherwise burns a Saline County evening: a fifteen-minute video certification from home cuts out the round trip to a Little Rock clinic, 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 approval typically lands inside fourteen days. The card is valid for one year, home cultivation is not permitted, and the purchase ceiling is two and a half ounces per fourteen-day rolling window.
