General Welcome to Arkansas Medical Marijuana! Please read these FAQs before posting

38 Upvotes

Hello and welcome to Arkansas’ Medical Marijuana Subreddit! Here we can discuss Arkansas’ cannabis, the quality and effects of different strains, and keep up to date on the latest MMJ news. This subreddit is for the people, so we want to hear your experiences with Arkansas’ MMJ program! We also encourage people to share educational and news articles regarding ARMMJ or MJ in general. When we keep each other informed of goings on in Arkansas’ MMJ market, we can promote affordable high-quality medicine in Arkansas.

​

If you need assistance or need to make a report, don’t hesitate to contact the mod team via mod mail or report the post you find breaking the rules.

​

Below are some of the most frequent questions we get, and some tips on how to travel with your medication.

  1. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET YOUR CARD?

You will receive a temporary card anywhere from 1-5 business days, which will be uploaded to your mmj.adh.arkansas.gov account that you created to submit your approval letter and your $50 application fee.

You will not receive any type of notification that your temporary card is available. This card will then need to be printed out, as most dispensaries will not accept showing the card on your phone, but calling ahead of time to see if they do is an option. Your regular card will arrive in the mail in about 2 weeks.

We recommend getting your card laminated. Some dispensaries will laminate your cards for you. If it is lost or damaged it will have to be replaced, which will require another application fee and wait time.

  1. 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. 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. Getting approved is a fairly easy process, and you likely just need to go to your GP/Ortho/Neurologist/PT/etc and have your medical files printed out! Some doctors will give your qualifying diagnosis during your appointment, some require prior documents, talk to your clinic and see!

  1. I RAN OUT OF ALLOTMENT, WHEN CAN I BUY MORE?

Your allotment renews every 2 weeks from the date of purchase. So if you buy on the 1st it will be until the 15th that it falls off. You can check your allotment through https://mmj.adh.arkansas.gov/

* You are legally allowed to have two and one-half ounces (2.5 oz.) of usable marijuana. On your person at one time *

  1. CAN I MAKE MY OWN EDIBLES/CONCENTRATES/CARTS/ETC?

Yes, absolutely! We recommend searching the web or asking questions in the subreddit for recipes! Also see our subreddit’s Cooking flair to see what other members are cooking up!

  1. CAN I GROW MY OWN?

At the current time, the state has not permitted patients to grow their own. The Arkansas Recreational Marijuana Amendment 2022 is currently being petitioned to legalize recreational use as well as the right to grow.

  1. CAN I SELL TO OR SMOKE WITH MY FRIENDS WHO DO NOT HAVE A CARD?

NO, it’s illegal. Do not post regarding this here or it will be removed. You can gift and smoke with medical cardholders though.

  1. DOES MY MMJ HAVE TO STAY IN THE DISPENSARY PACKAGING?

We highly recommend keeping your medicine in the container it comes in just like a prescription pill, at least when traveling to avoid any conflict with law enforcement. Since the dispensary containers tend to let your flower dry out, you could put the dispensary packaging inside of a larger air-tight container if needed. Also, we recommend you keep your medicine in a locked box or a bag out of your arm's reach when traveling.

  1. WHERE CAN I MEDICATE?

Your home/domicile. It must be private property and not open to the public.

  1. CAN I GO TO OKLAHOMA?

You can definitely go to Oklahoma and get a temporary card from that state. But, at this current time, federal laws still prohibit bringing cannabis across state lines and there has not been any official statement from the State of Arkansas regarding bringing it into the state. Please do not post about bringing anything back from Oklahoma as it is illegal and we do not encourage breaking the law.

  1. IS MY POST AGAINST THE RULES?

We have come up with a few rules that are in the subreddits about rules section. If it’s illegal, targeting another patient indirectly or directly, not related to the subreddit, against the rules of the subreddit, or just not helpful to the cause please refrain from posting.

Complaint Signing off the Arkansas crap

0 Upvotes

I’m quitting and so can’t wait to get my wellbeing back. All Arkansas dispo weed is poison. (I’ve tried every brand). After a couple years of smoking it and feeling something is not right after every time (after the initial relief that lasts for like 10 minutes…), I’ve decided it’s just not worth it anymore. Tried every brand.

Can’t even try to tell me I have some kind of weed allergy or any BS like that. Went to Cali and Branson several times throughout and was instantly transported back in time right after taking a hit every time. The high, just everything about flower is better when it’s not from here. I’m not kidding when I say I broke out in tears a few times when smoking actual gas after being stuck with AR crap. And I could go heavy with it and keep stacking my high, unlike the crap AR stuff I have to constantly hit just to feel anything. Any time I wake and baked Arkansas weed, I’d experience a full day of struggling to talk or think because my brain would be so screwed up from it, (whether it be the mold or God knows what else.)

But anyway, I just want to encourage everyone to stop poisoning yourselves and (if you can) make a trip to Branson to remind yourself what weed is supposed to be like. IG That’s what we get for getting the gov involved in weed. At least elsewhere they let the growers do what they need to do (use real soil, etc).. that alone has a profound effect on the plant in ways that you can feel

General Question What are some strains you haven't seen in a long time, or want to see grown in the ARMMJ program?

10 Upvotes

Had this thought while looking at some old empty jars and labels I have sitting around. Tales & Travels had one called "The Glove" that was Gary Payton x Jealousy that I really liked. The label on this one says it was harvested in March '24. Probably the last time I saw it on a dispensary menu anywhere.

I'll also add Sundae Driver (I forget who grew this one but I admittedly liked it because of the Bongzilla song), Gary Payton, and Cereal Milk. I see Cereal Milk flavored stuff show up from time to time but it's been a long time since I saw any Cereal Milk flower, and that was a big fave of mine.

As far as strains being brought here that aren't already grown, I would like to see more of the TICAL stuff just out of curiosity. I really like the TICAL strains we have here but would be interested in seeing strains like Hot Nixon, Iron Lung, or Release Yo Delf being offered here.

So what about y'all? What strains would you like to see grown again? Or brought to AR?

Legal Question MMJ Card and Firearm Purchasing Legality

9 Upvotes

I obviously have a medical card and consume medical cannabis in Arkansas. I am wanting to purchase a handgun (from guns.com) but I am concerned about the legality of purchasing a handgun while having a medical card.

I definitely don’t want to lie on the federal form, is anyone well-educated on how purchasing a handgun in Arkansas works when you have a medical card?

Discussion No protections or support for Med Card Holders in terms of Employment

46 Upvotes

Has anyone else noticed the glaring issue that if one has a med card in Arkansas, one is limited to minimum wage jobs, topping out in lower middle management, or one must lie to the company/cheat their drug test. Idk about everyone else, but it kind of peeves me off that we get the card to be legal, yet we still have to lie/cheat the system we are actively trying to appease, if we don't desire to live with a never ending stream of low paying jobs. Personally, at 27, I don't feel like I should have to choose between pain and ptsd relief or having a career and a future, when "Sally" or "Jim" next to me is popping their third benzo or opiate of the day... It's unfortunate that in the Natural State, the choice of natural medicine over synthesized chemicals is also a choice of career path, at the end of the day.

Hey yall 👋

Can we take a second to go back and look at the evolution of OCC? Back when they were first putting out the Double stuffed sorbet, Scott's og, & Papa's OG that shit was fire. But it only lasted about 6 months max. They have continued to go down hill continuously for years now. Can we not get together as a community of patients and demand their license is given to another company to tear down and re do everything they have done or something? We deserve better medicine than they are putting out and its not changing. Thanks!

Wasn’t gonna post but getting some relief with this. Nothing to special, but the strains with Linalool do me justice.
It was labeled smalls. Sweet and gassy nose. A little hint of leaf hear and there, but overall not dissatisfied. Good joint bud easy to break up by hand.
Also munched 50 mg of a Quachita milk chocolate bar. Feel elevated not much bothering me. Thanks for some relief.
