Medical Marijuana in Paragould, Arkansas
Greene County • Northeast Arkansas
Paragould residents drive about twenty-five minutes south on US 412 to reach the Native Green Wellness dispensary in Jonesboro, the closest operator serving the Greene and Craighead County corridor.
Telehealth fits the rhythm of a manufacturing-and-farming town where missing a shift or a planting window costs the day. The certification visit runs about fifteen minutes by video from home, no Jonesboro round trip and no time off the line, and 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 within 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 period.
