Arkansas group proposing more access to medical marijuana qualifies for ballot in Nov. election 
ABC KTBC-3, Texarkana, AR; by Tracy Gladney; 7/6/24 
The ballot committee in Arkansas that proposed more access to medical marijuana received enough signatures from around the state to qualify for a ballot in the November election.  90,704 signatures were required for a ballot, and boxes were turned in to the state capitol with 111,402 signatures, well exceeding the number needed. ... The amendment would allow patients to grow their own marijuana at home, end annual renewal requirements for medical certification and expand which medical professionals could approve medical marijuana cards to include pharmacists, physicians’ assistants and nurse practitioners. The state legalized medical cannabis in 2016, and this is the first proposed amendment to this law in eight years.
