About the AR Medical Marijuana Program
Arkansas’ medical marijuana program was established in 2016 when voters approved the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Amendment (Issue 6). This amendment enables patients with qualifying medical conditions to access medical cannabis.
The Arkansas Department of Health oversees the program and is in charge of issuing medical marijuana cards to eligible patients and caregivers. To participate in the state's program, patients must obtain certification from a registered physician and apply for an MMJ card from the Arkansas Department of Health.
How to Renew Your Card in Arkansas

Understanding the Potential Side Effects of Medical Marijuana
Chronic or heavy use of medical marijuana may lead to long-term health effects. These can differ based on the method of consumption, frequency of use, and the THC-to-CBD ratio. Long-term side effects may include:
- Respiratory issues: Smoking cannabis regularly may irritate the lungs and lead to chronic bronchitis or coughing. Alternatives such as vaporizers, edibles, or tinctures are generally less harmful to respiratory health.
- Tolerance and dependence: Over time, frequent users may develop tolerance, requiring higher doses for the same therapeutic effect. In some cases, mild withdrawal symptoms—such as irritability, sleep problems, or cravings—can occur upon discontinuation.
- Cognitive impact: Prolonged use, particularly starting at a young age, may affect learning, memory, and concentration.
- Mental health concerns: Individuals predisposed to anxiety, depression, or psychotic disorders may experience worsened symptoms with high-THC cannabis use.
- Motivational changes: Some users report reduced motivation, energy, or productivity—often referred to as “amotivational syndrome.”
Medical marijuana can be a valuable part of a personalized treatment plan when used responsibly and under medical guidance. Understanding both the benefits and potential side effects allows patients to make safe, evidence-based decisions about their care.
