Industry professionals reflect on five years of medical marijuana in Arkansas 
Arkansas Advocate; by Mary Hennigan; 5/13/24
Since the launch of medical marijuana in Arkansas in 2019, more than three dozen storefronts have opened, at least 102,000 residents have registered for patient cards and revenue has topped $1.1 billion. The latest card count exceeds 102,000, and there’s no indication of a letup in new applications,  ... As of June 2023, one in three Arkansans with a patient card listed post-traumatic stress disorder as their qualifying condition, ... The next highest qualifying condition was intractable pain, or pain that has not responded to ordinary medications for more than six months, at nearly 30%.
