A subreddit for Arkansas medical marijuana patients and others to talk about everything MMJ in the Natural State. Whatever is on your mind about medical marijuana in Arkansas.
Hi! Welcome to the Arkansas Medical Marijuana subreddit! This is a place where patients can come together, post about our favorite things, post about our not-favorite things, and in general try to keep ourselves informed! Knowledge is power, share it here! If you are a new patient, you probably have a lot of questions! Don't worry, we all did! We’ll try to cover the 10 most important ones here first, so we can keep the sub free of (rather frequent!) reposts. We will probably revise this post as we learn.
WHEN WILL I GET MY CARD!?!? You will receive a temporary card in around 13-14 business days, which will be uploaded to your AMMSys account that you created to submit your approval letter and your $50 application fee. There is no exact time frame that can be given for your temporary card, but keep checking this website. You will not receive any type of notification that your temporary card is available. This card will then need to be printed out. Most dispensaries will not accept the PDF on a phone. Get your card laminated. Some dispensaries will laminate your cards for you, some won’t. Your regular card will arrive in the mail in about 2 weeks, and will need to be laminated as well, if it is lost or damaged it will have to be replaced, which will require another application fee and a headache.
WILL I BE APPROVED FOR MY CARD?!?! If you have had a doctor in the past confirm that you have any of the approved conditions, you most likely do qualify and any of the doctors that specialize in MMJ cards will be able to tell you the exact steps you need to take to get approved. Many clinic websites have a pre-screening page, where you can give a brief explanation of your issues and a nurse/assistant will contact you (usually in a matter of minutes) for a consultation. What I will say is that getting approved may be easier than you thought, and you likely just need to go to your GP/Ortho/Neurologist/PT/etc and have your medical files printed out! Some doctors will diagnose ailments during your appointment, some require prior documents, talk to your clinic and see!
I RAN OUT OF ALLOTMENT! WHEN CAN I BUY MORE? 2 weeks. Your purchase on the first of the month will reset to your account on the 15th of the month. You can check your allotment through greenspringsmedical.com, an amazing dispo in Hot Springs that is kind enough to have a portal!
WHY WOULD I BUY FROM AR WHEN OK IS CHEAPER? As of this time, in order to purchase Oklahoma Medical Marijuana, you require a Temporary OKMMJ card. This costs $100 and is valid for 30 days from the issue date. You are also technically not allowed to cross state lines with medical marijuana. Even though it is legal in OK and AR, state lines are federal borders and as marijuana is federally illegal, you are transporting a controlled substance across state lines. This is a felony, and you can find yourself in BIG TROUBLE if you happen to get pulled over in either state with the other states products or if you are pulled over while crossing the border. If you do this, DONT POST ABOUT IT HERE.
CAN I MAKE MY OWN EDIBLES/CONCENTRATES/CARTS/ETC? YES, it is absolutely legal! And if you can afford the equipment/time investment, you absolutely should! Do plenty of research, as some methods of cannabis extraction can be extremely dangerous, insanely complicated, require expensive equipment, or all of the above!
CAN I GROW MY OWN? NO! Don't even throw seeds in your backyard, it is not legal for you to grow marijuana in any sense of the word. If you are growing, DONT POST ABOUT IT HERE.
CAN I SELL TO OR SMOKE OUT MY FRIENDS? NO, it’s illegal! If you do this, DONT POST ABOUT IT HERE.
CAN I BUY FROM MY OLD DEALER STILL AND PUT IT IN AN MMJ CONTAINER? No, it’s illegal. If you do this, DONT POST ABOUT IT HERE.
DOES MY MMJ HAVE TO STAY IN THE DISPENSARY PACKAGING? No. Once you leave the dispensary you can put it in any other CHILD PROOF CONTAINER you choose. It must ALWAYS be in a CHILD PROOF CONTAINER.
WHERE CAN I SMOKE? Your home/domicile. You are not allowed to smoke in a vehicle, in public, or any government property or like institution. You are not supposed to bring that vape or that pre-roll to your kid’s soccer game. There are still rules, you can still find yourself breaking the law depending on where you spark up.
WILL SOMEONE BUY CANNABIS FOR ME? NO, it’s illegal. Don't ask, it won’t happen here, and you will be banned..
CAN I TALK ABOUT STREET CANNABIS? NO, please don't talk about street cannabis. There are plenty of other subs to talk about cannabis, let's keep this one about Arkansas's program, our dispensaries, and our medicine.
CAN I POST PHOTOS? Yes, sure, so long as it's related to Arkansas MMJ. Please don't post photos of street cannabis. If you do post a pic of cannabis, say what it is and where you got it.
CAN I BE RUDE? NO, not even a little. Go away. Instaban.
If your question is not answered or does not fall into these categories, please feel free to ask! We are 1500 members strong, SOMEONE has likely dealt with a similar issue before!

Hello, I’m near central Arkansas and I’m looking for a relatively short drive (20 mins each way max) never had flower before and ngl it’s kinda confusing.
If yall could comment hybrid recommendations and where it can be found at it would be much appreciated 🙏
I just sent in my application to the state. Wanted to share my experience of going through the process. After many many people told me not to use AR cannabis clinic, i still did. I scheduled the appointment 2 weeks out just so i could try to find another place but this place just seemed most convenient, mainly because i did not have a diagnosis an they had an option to pay an extra $99 to get the ptsd “evaluation”. The call i got on that day (the call was 3 hours late) i was only told that i had to pay an extra $79 for some reason and if i did then i would receive two more phone calls to get approved, an the phone calls were scheduled for 2 days later. I hesitated but paid anyway. The 2 phone calls took less than 3 minutes, one hour later i was emailed everything i needed to send off my application. Hoping everything goes smoothly🤞🏻 The total ended up being $427 to the clinic, and $50 to the state for application
I have a like new sticky brick I’ll probably never used if anyone Is interested. Located in Conway. Thanks!
I got issued on Oct 11, and still haven’t received my physical card in the mail. They sent it to the wrong address first after forgetting to include the word “south” in my address so it got returned, I called about a month ago and they said they would resend it and I would see it in about a week. Nothing, so I call back again two weeks later and they tell me “well you can print it out if you want..” never had this much trouble with them before but I’m pretty frustrated at this point. I just don’t like having to hand people my phone at the dispensary and don’t own a printer. I shouldn’t have to go so far out of my way to get a damn piece of paper from them.
Edit: I’ve been using my digital copy, I just don’t like to hand people my phone. I am also aware it is just a piece of paper now, I just don’t feel like I should have to print the thing out when it’s part of their job at adh to send it out.
I had a card in 2020. It was somewhat durable. It's lived in my wallet undamaged for 4 years. I renewed my card this year and they sent me a cheap paper copy that I had to cut out. I'm sure some pencil pushing bean counter at the state got a raise for switching to cheap printer paper. :D How do y'all protect your cheap paper "cards?"
Finally scooped some of the Queen Mother Gogi from Bold. Has a funky nose and has a nice lil terp layer as well. Definitely not the best hash I’ve ever smoked but excited to finally get something of this caliber from an Arkansas cultivator. My biggest complaint is price point. This hash is nowhere near sixty dollars a gram but unfortunately as Arkansas patients we take what we can get! All that being said really looking forward to the future of hash in our State and the cats over at Bold seem to be doing a good job with this batch! A super clean and cerebral high with a kind of sweet candy/pine flavor.
Revolution's Moroccan Melt isn't a full melt, is it? I still have a little left in my vaporizer that's a bit gooey, but doesn't hit. Is this normal? TIA
Sherwood's Natural Relief Dispensary has the best selection and prices in the Little Rock metro area. However, their credit card machines require you to decline a tip if you don't want to tip. I feel like this is bullshit. My pharmacist does not solicit tips, and the dispensary should not either. I may voluntarily leave a tip, but I can do so without a coercive UI.
Title pretty much says it. NEA Full Spectrum has moved from their location in Brookland to a new location at Hilltop, Vision drive or street, 72401. The name and look has changed big time for the better. The name of it is, “The Vault”. Thought I’d get this out there for those around that don’t know. I have gone a couple times since they opened Monday and not many people at all were there either time I went. They are fully staffed, very nice folks, and just about everything in the store is now 30% off. The Vault has more products at cheaper prices than Crop and they are 10 times faster. Crop use to be great but they don’t ever carry the best stuff anymore and when they do get something good in, it’s twice as high as NEA, or the Vault. I hate it too because I live by Crop but I’ll drive the 10 mins further to The Vault again if Crop doesn’t step up their game. Anyway, I am so thankful to have two dispensaries in my little city. It’s competition time now, I hope! Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!
Hello every one, quick question, is it worth using a debit/credit card over cash at the dispensary like Crop here in NEA? I haven’t had the chance to ask if they charge extra if they process a card payment, and curious if any one knows.
Good evening, everybody! Hope you and yours are great! I have a question. Has anyone tried dabbing Revs Full Melt hash? It does say full melt. I got some today to top my flower bowls off with and failed to look at it before I left. Just got home and it’s in a very sticky soupy badder type sauce, if that makes sense. I don’t know whether to dab it, take a hot knife and top my bowl that way, or just take it back. Thanks for your answers in advance and Happy Thanksgiving!
Anyone know of any places that will be open on thanksgiving?
I’m pretty excited to score exotic cookie strains when available. It’s always been this way too, legal or not, scoring a sack of Rainbow in the 1980’s or today is an opportunity that you can’t pass on…
Because it will be gone!
Once in the eighties a friend waved me down while I was driving. We pulled over. He said I’ve been looking for you! He had saved me an ounce of rainbow from his pound. He grabbed the sandwich bag out of his pocket and every bud was a different color
Does anyone know if there's Thanksgiving sales this week? In the Monticello-Pine Bluff areas specifically? If so does anyone know what they are and which days they apply?
Y’all please tell me what to do. Osage Blue Dream Flower, would you get it? I personally have never had luck with their flower, (well anything of theirs) so am I wasting my time? There are few strains that tempt me, Blue Dream is one of them.
I noticed the other day that the Bold dispensary in Heber Springs doesn't sell any GDF at all. Do they have issues with each other? I haven't bought any GDF products in a while but found this curious. Just went and looked again. It looks like they don't carry any flower from GDF.
The state Medical Marijuana Commission held a public hearing Thursday to conclude a 30-day public comment period on the proposed rules. No one showed up to speak at the hearing but commissioners received emailed comments from representatives of the industry.
The commission received comments from Good Day Farm, the Arkansas Cannabis Industry Association, an owner of Custom Cannabis dispensary in Alexander and the owner of Fiddler’s Green dispensary in Mountain View.
First i hear about 30 day public comment period ending last Thursday.
These are the only 2 brands that I even bother with. RVR has been damn good everytime. Revolution has its fair of mid weed, but damn they do it right.
RVR all in the last 3 weeks:
Moneyball ArkansasZa E85 Halloween Special Cadillac Rainbow
Revolution
Florida Orange Blueberry Clementine Kush Mints Runtz Sunset Sherbet
Who makes the best bud in Arkansas at the moment?
I'm 17 and recently me and my caregiver (grandma) went and got a written letter from a physician and did the online medical card way because we thought it would be quicker and we have filled out all paperwork online she was in level 3 review for about 2 days and now it is saying incomplete applications we have filled everything out even called the medical marijuana section at the health department he guided us how to do it and said we were in the clear but it said this. Now I looked at my application and it also says level 3 review I'm curious if this has happened to anyone
Update: I got my medical card approved and issued today and she got her caregiver card approved as well! It was a glitch in there system it wasn't accepting some of the paperwork for some reason
