Medical Marijuana in Jacksonville, Arkansas

Pulaski County • Central Arkansas

Jacksonville residents pull dispensary access from the Little Rock cluster fifteen to twenty minutes south on US 67/167, with Suite 443 and Releaf Center as the closest Pulaski County operators.

Active-duty service members should know that federal law and Department of Defense policy still prohibit cannabis use regardless of state law, so most LRAFB-area cardholders are retirees, dependents, or post-separation veterans rather than current-roster personnel. The certification visit itself runs 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 approval typically lands inside fourteen days. The card is valid for one year, home cultivation is not allowed, and the purchase ceiling is two and a half ounces per fourteen-day rolling period.
