The Number of Applications to Grow, Sell Marijuana In Arkansas
Jerry Cox, Contributing Author: Recently some 300 businesses and individuals applied with the State of Arkansas to grow or sell so-called “medical” marijuana.
The state is still in the process of reviewing these applications — and likely will be for quite some time. Of all these applicants, five growers and 32 sellers will be approved by the state.
We sent a Freedom of Information Act request to the Department of Finance and Administration requesting information on the applications to grow or sell marijuana. Here’s a breakdown of what we have learned so far:
