Arkansas Cannabis License Applications Released

Applications for cannabis business licenses are now available in the State of Arkansas, via the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission website.

Two types of applications are currently available: cultivation and dispensaries. Applications will be accepted from June 30 to September 18, 2017.

During this initial launch of the Arkansas program, five (5) licenses will be awarded for cultivation, and thirty-two (32) for dispensaries, with 4 licenses allocated for each of 8 geographic zones identified by the commission.

The Rules and Regulations for applications appear to be generally similar to those of other states with recently release applications. See the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission's Rules & Regulations HERE.

Arkansas voters last year approved a measure to allow the use, cultivation and sale of medical cannabis, then passed an amendment making it easier for physicians to recommend medicinal cannabis.
