Ask Me How to Buy Local Weed.

Are you 18 or older?
This site contains educational information about Arkansas's medical marijuana program. Arkansas law requires patients to be at least 18, or a minor with a parent or legal guardian caregiver.
By entering, you confirm you're of legal age. Marijuana is for use by qualified patients only. Not approved by the FDA to treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Talk to your parent or guardian.
Arkansas minors can become medical marijuana patients if they have a qualifying condition and a parent or legal guardian who registers as their caregiver. If you think cannabis could help you, ask a trusted adult to take this quiz with you.

Hey Arkansas, let's figure out how you can shop local.
Arkansas has had legal medical marijuana since 2016. If you or someone you love lives with a qualifying condition, the path to relief is clearer than most people think. This quiz takes about 2 minutes.
Who is this quiz for?
We'll tailor your next steps based on who the patient is.
Does the patient have an Arkansas state-issued ID?
An AR driver's license or AR state ID from the DMV is required to apply as a resident patient.
Is the patient a member of the US Military or Arkansas National Guard?
Arkansas legislation passed in 2017 excludes active military and National Guard members from the medical marijuana program.
We're sorry, Arkansas law currently excludes you.
Under 2017 Arkansas legislation, active members of the US Military and Arkansas National Guard are not eligible for a qualified patient registry card. This is a state restriction, not a federal one.
We know this is frustrating. Roots & Reefer continues to advocate for policy changes, and we encourage you to contact your state representatives.
Does the patient already have an active Arkansas MMJ card?
Do you have a medical marijuana card from your home state?
Arkansas welcomes visiting patients from other legal states. You'll need proof of your home state card to apply.
Has the patient been diagnosed with any of these?
Select all that apply. These are the 18 qualifying conditions recognized by the Arkansas Department of Health.
No problem, let's look at symptoms instead.
Many Arkansans discover they qualify through symptoms they've lived with for years without naming them. Check anything that sounds familiar.
Your card is your key.

Complete the visiting patient application at mmj.adh.arkansas.gov with your home state card and state ID.
Non-refundable. Valid for 90 days from approval.
Visiting patients must print their own card, it won't be mailed.
Present your AR visiting patient card and home state ID at any Arkansas dispensary.
Start at home.
Arkansas's visiting patient program requires a valid medical marijuana card from your home state. If your state has a medical program, qualify there first, then apply for Arkansas visiting status before your next trip.
If your state doesn't have a medical program yet, you're not alone. Many Arkansans moved their care here from neighboring states, and cannabis legalization continues to expand.
