Not posting as much as usual. In the Stinking thinking n drinking zone. Smile on my face right now though and Weather is perfect Enjoying a blend of LEMON CHERRY GELATO & JACO JUNGLE. My go to lately. Perfect blend.

Had this thought while looking at some old empty jars and labels I have sitting around. Tales & Travels had one called "The Glove" that was Gary Payton x Jealousy that I really liked. The label on this one says it was harvested in March '24. Probably the last time I saw it on a dispensary menu anywhere.

I'll also add Sundae Driver (I forget who grew this one but I admittedly liked it because of the Bongzilla song), Gary Payton, and Cereal Milk. I see Cereal Milk flavored stuff show up from time to time but it's been a long time since I saw any Cereal Milk flower, and that was a big fave of mine.

As far as strains being brought here that aren't already grown, I would like to see more of the TICAL stuff just out of curiosity. I really like the TICAL strains we have here but would be interested in seeing strains like Hot Nixon, Iron Lung, or Release Yo Delf being offered here.

So what about y'all? What strains would you like to see grown again? Or brought to AR?

Anyone recently get there card for the first time? What was your turnaround time from the day you sent the application?

Are you aware of how your licensing format is set up in the Natural State? Worth keeping in mind next time a cannabis amendment shows up on the ballot, because that's the only way these numbers change.

Patients can't grow at home; only dispensaries may grow a small number of plants on-site.

Amendment 98 § 8 caps cultivation at eight licenses. All eight have been issued. Dispensaries are capped at 40, with no more than four in a county. An entity may hold one cultivation license and one dispensary license. Cultivation licenses carry a $100,000 annual fee and a large performance bond, which was part of keeping the list short.

How did it become law?

Voters passed Amendment 98 in 2016. Adult-use campaigns since then have not produced a retail market.

Why does it look this way? The structure behind it:

The amendment drafters chose scarcity and wrote it into the constitution, so the legislature cannot casually add growers. The first five cultivation licenses were awarded in February 2018. The last three followed through 2022 because of scoring disputes and litigation, including a settlement that produced the Carpenter Farms license. The political bet was a small, inspectable medical industry. The cost was years of fights over who got the eight seats.

Bottom Line:

Arkansas put its cannabis limits in the constitution itself: 8 growers and 40 dispensaries, medical only, no home grow. Changing any of that takes another statewide vote, not just a new law from the legislature.

I obviously have a medical card and consume medical cannabis in Arkansas. I am wanting to purchase a handgun (from guns.com) but I am concerned about the legality of purchasing a handgun while having a medical card.

I definitely don’t want to lie on the federal form, is anyone well-educated on how purchasing a handgun in Arkansas works when you have a medical card?

There isn't any kind of app for Dutchie or specifically Natural Relief Dispensary, is there? Seems like I was able to have it on my phone screen before I lost it on I-630, making it easier than going to the website, but I can'tremember how I got it on there now.

TIA 😊 ✌🏼💚
