Overview
Arkansas voters approved medical marijuana in 2016, with the first dispensaries opening in 2019. As of January 2026, Arkansas operates a mature medical cannabis program with dispensaries across the state serving qualified patients.
The Arkansas Medical Marijuana Amendment allows patients with qualifying conditions to purchase cannabis from licensed dispensaries. Recreational cannabis remains illegal with criminal penalties. The program is regulated by the Arkansas Department of Health and the Alcoholic Beverage Control Division.
Arkansas permits smokable flower, unlike some medical-only states. Patients can purchase up to 2.5 ounces every 14 days. The state has licensed dozens of dispensaries, providing reasonable access across urban and rural areas.
Prices in Arkansas are higher than recreational markets but more reasonable than some newer medical programs. Expect to pay $10-15 per gram for flower, with eighths ranging $35-50. Medical patients pay sales tax but no cannabis excise tax.
This guide helps Arkansas patients navigate the medical program, find licensed dispensaries, understand costs, and stay compliant with state law.
How Access & Delivery Work
Medical marijuana delivery is not currently permitted under Arkansas law. All patients must visit licensed dispensaries in person to purchase products.
Patients need valid Arkansas medical marijuana cards and government-issued ID for all purchases. The state tracking system monitors purchases to ensure patients stay within the 2.5-ounce per 14-day limit.
Some dispensaries accept walk-ins while others prefer appointments. Call ahead to confirm hours, product availability, and any first-time patient requirements.
Product Guides
Smokable flower is legal and widely available in Arkansas' medical program. Dispensaries carry indica, sativa, and hybrid strains from multiple cultivators. Quality varies by brand and price point. Focus on freshness, terpene profiles, and lab testing results rather than just THC percentage. Popular Arkansas cultivators include Bold, River Valley Relief, and Good Day Farm.
Vape cartridges and disposables are popular in Arkansas for convenience and discretion. Look for products with full lab testing showing cannabinoid content and absence of harmful additives. Live resin and distillate cartridges both available. Standard 510-thread cartridges fit most batteries.
Pre-rolled joints are available at most Arkansas dispensaries. These range from budget options using shake to premium pre-rolls with whole flower. Infused pre-rolls with concentrates or kief are less common but available at some locations.
Edibles in Arkansas include gummies, chocolates, baked goods, and beverages. Dosing typically ranges from 5mg to 50mg per serving. Start low (5-10mg) if you're new to edibles and wait at least 90 minutes before consuming more. Effects last longer than smoking but take time to activate.
Cannabis-infused beverages are available but less common than in recreational markets. Some dispensaries carry low-dose drinks (5-10mg THC) for social consumption.
Concentrates including wax, shatter, live resin, and rosin are available for experienced patients. These high-potency products require specialized equipment (dab rigs or concentrate vaporizers). Start with very small amounts—concentrates can contain 60-90% THC.
Tinctures and oils offer precise sublingual dosing for medical patients. These liquid products allow you to measure exact doses and provide relatively fast onset (15-45 minutes). Popular for patients who need consistent daily medication.
Topical cannabis products provide localized relief without psychoactive effects. Available as balms, lotions, patches, and salves for joint pain, muscle soreness, and skin conditions.
