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!

I need some help understanding - I'm totally lost on how or even IF I should get my card.
So pardon me if this is like, the most common thing that people are asking here, it's just that after skimming this subreddit for a bit and visiting multiple different websites & trying to fill out information out on each I've gotten pretty confused & rather than trying to spend money on a process I don't fully understand yet, I decided to just bluntly ask here instead so I don't make a big mistake.
So, if you wouldn't mind me asking an often repeated question here, What is the most efficient way to go about getting your card in AR for the first time?
I've had my therapist recommend me to this site, but idk if it'd be a good place for me to start looking into this kinda thing since it seems to really be more focused on renewals rather than first timers, and I tried calling their number multiple times to no success so I'm not even sure if I'd wanna try relying on them to begin with.
I also wanted to ask an additional question on top of that since I've also noticed quite a few conflicting opinions. For someone like me, who is currently in their early 20's, is it still worth it to get your medical card?
I've been hearing reports of people just having stuff like THCa getting shipped directly to their door from the internet & having it be much more worth it to do that. I really wanna know if it'd even be a good idea to try jumping through all these hoops just to get a card that gives me the privilege of buying supposedly crummy weed if there's just a better option anyway.
Pardon me for all these questions, I don't intend on annoying regulars with an often parroted question, I just wanted to find some clarity since I've been having some trouble with finding that today. Thank you for understanding!

El Dorado vs Pine Bluff
I’m headed up this week from Louisiana and can’t decide whether to visit Zen Leaf in El Dorado, or drive an extra 30 mins and go to Pine Bluff instead. Zen Leaf seems fine, but PB has 3 different dispensaries, and they all seem pretty well liked here as well. If I do go to PB I likely won’t shop around at all 3 of them due to time constraints. I’d like to come home with an oz of flower, a couple of grams of concentrates, and a pack or two of 100mg gummies. Let me know what yall think!

I was going to use APM and they told me it would be $250 to renew my card! Is there any place that will do it cheaper?

More Education for those easily upset by science
I have multiple links to educate everyone on remediation and the differences between THCA flower that’s been remediated and normal medical/rec flower. Many people said I was wrong without ever providing how the science I brought with me was “wrong” nor could they provide any links to counter it. So here is the full break down. This link will explain the pros and cons of remediation to anyone who doesn’t understand it https://airrosshield.com/cannabis-remediation-machines-how-they-work-and-the-pros-and-cons/ And here is another link to further explain the “cons” and how remediation is used to lower THC (as well as clean contaminants)
https://www.cannabissciencetech.com/view/thc-remediation-a-basic-understanding
And then this link is to show those that think there are no machines for remediating flower, that there are indeed machines for remediating flower to be sold as flower still

Now you can downvote me all you want, call me a cocky asshole all you want, but point is, I’m trying to help you. I’m trying to educate you guys so that you’re fully aware of what you are smoking or not smoking. I’m not trying to hurt your feelings or upset you, this is science. It cares nothing about your feelings at all. It’s just fact.
If you feel any of this is wrong or incorrect PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE LINKS AND THE SCIENCE TO SHOW OTHERWISE. Aside from that if you can’t show otherwise, you’re just going to be showing that you are butt hurt lol so yet again, downvote me all you want, but I’d rather see someone show up and refute this with actual science and intellect. Everyone wants to get mad and attack me saying I am the asshole… but you guys aren’t asses for saying someone else is wrong when they’re providing real science to educate you? At some point you guys will be educated to these things whether it’s me doing it or the news agencies.
