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.
