Arkansas came close to legalizing medical marijuana in 2012, though voters rejected it by a slim margin. Now Arkansas will have another chance, and this is the first medical marijuana proposal approved by the Arkansas Attorney General.

Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge has approved a proposed constitutional amendment to legalize marijuana in Arkansas.

Rutledge approved the proposed constitutional amendment titled, “The Arkansas Medical Marijuana Amendment of 2016” that was submitted by Little Rock lawyer David Couch.

Now that the proposal has been certified, supporters can work to gather the nearly 85,000 signatures from registered voters required to qualify for the November ballot.

Read the full story about this medical marijuana amendment from KATV ABC 7 in Little Rock, Arkansas.

BaM quality medical marijuana will soon be available at several dispensaries around Las Vegas. Medical marijuana is legal in the State of Nevada, and Nevada is the only state to accept medical marijuana cards from any other state. To find a dispensary located in Las Vegas we suggest Weedmaps. Weedmaps is also a comprehensive medical marijuana resource. Please use medical marijuana responsibly and remember that laws for medical marijuana differ from state to state.
