Arkansas Medical Marijuana Program Rules ($50 ADH Fee, 1-Year Card, No Home Grow)
The Arkansas Department of Health oversees a strictly medical cannabis program, meaning recreational marijuana use remains completely illegal statewide. Approved patients must pay the $50 ADH fee annually to keep their registry card active, as the state issues cards with a strict 1-year validity period. Qualifying for the program requires having one of the 18 specific conditions outlined by the state, and there is no broad doctor discretion clause for other ailments. Cardholders are permitted to purchase up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis per rolling 14-day period. Additionally, the state prohibits any form of home cultivation, meaning all medical products must be bought from a state-licensed dispensary facility.
Where to Use Your Arkansas Medical Marijuana Card in Little Rock
Little Rock features two state-licensed dispensaries conveniently located within the city limits. Patients can visit Greenlight Dispensary at 7303 Kanis Road or shop at Berner's by Good Day Farm located at 11600 Chenal Parkway. For those residing in nearby suburbs, Natural Relief Dispensary sits just across the river in Sherwood. It is crucial to remember that your state-issued card does not override federal law or employer policies. Personnel working at the Little Rock Air Force Base, those visiting the Eugene J. Towbin Healthcare Center for VA services, and commercial drivers navigating the I-30 corridor under DOT regulations are subject to federal drug testing guidelines that do not recognize Arkansas medical cannabis protections.
