State Rules of Cannabis in Arkansas
Cannabis regulations in Arkansas focus on a formal medical marijuana program with no provision for recreational use, and 1-8oz.com fully complies with these laws as a licensed weed dispensary in Arkansas. In 2016, voters in Arkansas passed the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Amendment (Amendment 98), allowing medical cannabis use for patients with qualifying conditions, including cancer, glaucoma, PTSD, epilepsy, chronic pain, and others. Patients aged 18 and older can get a physician's certification and a medical marijuana card from the Arkansas Department of Health that will allow them to purchase up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis every 14 days from licensed dispensaries. In total, Arkansas issued 38 dispenser licenses and cannabis access is provided geographically as determined by the Alcoholic Beverage Control Division of the state of Arkansas and the Department of Health (DOH). It should be noted that all cannabis products must be lab tested for safety and potency, while smoking is legal as long as it is not done in public.
Medical patients can utilize dispensary weed delivery in Arkansas, as long as they validate their medical cards and age through established dispensaries. Recreational marijuana possession is illegal in Arkansas, meaning possession of up to 4 ounces would be a misdemeanor; if convicted this could result in up to 1 year of incarceration and a $2,500 fine; possession of greater amounts would be a felony and the penalty for enough marijuana is up to 7 years in prison. The DUI penalties are harsh and there is a legal limit for THC, which is 5 nanograms per milliliter of blood.
In 2025, Arkansas's medical cannabis market accounts for over 90,000 registered medical marijuana patients and generates annual sales of more than $280 million dollars which indicates that demand for cannabis is stable. 1-8oz.com operates strictly within these rules and provides a patient-specific compliant experience through our dispensaries and delivery options.
