Having a valid physician’s medical marijuana certificate and medical marijuana identity card is currently the only legal way to consume cannabis in Arkansas.
Arkansas has a medical marijuana program. The first attempt to pass a law failed in 2012 but was successful in 2016.
How to qualify
To apply for a Medical Marijuana Card in Arkansas, you must be a legal resident of Arkansas State.
Patients must be aged 18 or over to qualify for a medical marijuana card in Arkansas or have a caregiver who can access cannabis if the patient is a minor or adult who cannot buy/grow for themselves. Arkansas medical marijuana caregivers must be aged 21 or over.
Note that the Arkansas National Guard and the United States Military members cannot obtain an MMJ Card under current Arkansas marijuana laws.
The following conditions may qualify you for a medical marijuana card in Arkansas:
Individuals holding an MMJ Card in Arkansas are permitted 2.5 ounces every 14 days, and this card is proof that you are legally allowed to possess, transport, and consume medical marijuana products.
Dispensaries will stock a range of medical marijuana forms, including tinctures, oils, dry flower, creams, edibles, and plant material used in vaporizers. You can consult with your doctor to discuss your condition’s correct strength and potency(s).
Medical marijuana patients under 21 may be restricted from smokable forms of cannabis.
It is not legal to cultivate cannabis plants in Arkansas, even for qualifying medical marijuana patients or their caregivers.
Caregivers
Some patients may be eligible for an MMJ Card but unable to apply for one themselves. For example, should the patient be a minor under 18, or if the patient needs assistance accessing medical cannabis, a caregiver can be assigned to complete the process on their behalf.
To qualify for a designated caregiver registry card to legally purchase medical marijuana for a qualified patient, you must meet the following qualifications:
01
Be 21 years of age or older.
02
The individual needing care must be physically disabled or a minor.
03
Have not been convicted of an excluded felony offense – a Criminal History Check will take place, for which the Caregiver must pay a $37 fee.
04
Be an Arkansas resident with proof of residency (AR Driver’s License or AR State ID card)
05
State law prohibits members of the Arkansas National Guard and the United States Military from obtaining a registry ID card.
06
Parents or legal guardians of a minor with a qualifying condition are not required to complete a Criminal History Check. The parent or guardian will still register as a caregiver and pay the registry card application fee, and all fees are nonrefundable.
To qualify, the patient:
The out-of-state registration card has the same force and effect as a card issued in Arkansas, except that the visiting qualifying patient may not purchase medical marijuana in Arkansas. To find out more about medical marijuana reciprocity, get in touch with the expert Leafwell team today.
