Arkansas Medical Marijuana Dispensary Rankings Now Available

Arkansas divides its state into 8 zones for medical marijuana dispensaries. The 198 applicants have finally been ranked by zone. The state has not said which dispensaries will actually obtain licenses.

The discussion regarding licensing is expected to take place on January 9, ArkLaTexHomepage.com says. The state will award 32 dispensary licenses. There are newly appointed commissioners that require time to get up-to-speed, so this is delaying the awarding of licenses a little bit.

These are the top applicants per zone.

• Arkansas Medicinal Source Patient Center
• The Releaf Center
• Valentine Holdings, LLC

• Arkansas Green Cross Cannabis Dispensary

The companies ranking high in multiple zones will have to choose which zone to open in. Once that is determined, the 5^th place ranking dispensary for that area will be awarded the license.

The state has over 6,600 medical marijuana patients waiting for dispensaries to open.
