Arkansans for Patient Access submitted over 111,000 signatures, surpassing the required threshold, for their Medical Marijuana Amendment to appear on the November ballot. If approved, the amendment would increase access to medical marijuana in Arkansas, especially for rural areas with limited primary care physicians. It broadens the definition of "healthcare practitioner" and aims to eliminate the $50 patient card charge and extend card life from one to three years.
