LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – The landscape for medical marijuana in Arkansas may soon change after a Thursday court ruling.
In a Pulaski County Circuit Court ruling, Judge Morgan “Chip” Welch ruled that 27 medical marijuana acts passed by the state legislature since 2017 were null. All of those 27 laws affected Constitutional Amendment 98, which made medical marijuana legal in Arkansas.
Welch’s ruling is expected to be appealed, but if it is upheld Natural State medical marijuana users would have greater access to medical marijuana prescriptions, devices to consume marijuana and fewer restrictions on using it.
Dispensaries could begin selling smoking supplies, such as bongs and rolling papers, and marijuana sold would lose the requirement to have a warning label.
