The law is moving

Cannabis law changes by legislative session and ballot measure — this page reflects Arkansas's program status as we track it today, and the wire below updates as the state acts. Sales and license data live on the Arkansas market page.

This is program-status reporting, not legal advice. Possession limits, patient qualification and purchase rules are set by state law and change — verify specifics with Arkansas's cannabis regulator before acting.
