Here Are the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Dispensary Scores

1 min read

In a surprise move, the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission released today scores for applications for medical marijuana dispensaries in Arkansas.

The release came two days after the commission delayed announcing the scores, which was originally scheduled for Wednesday. The day before the meeting, the commission postponed the announcement to Jan. 9, saying it wanted to allow newly appointed commissioners time to be briefed on the issues.

But on Thursday, the commission released the scores as a “response to numerous Freedom of Information Act requests.”

“The scores are not final and have not been reviewed or approved by the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission (MMC),” a spokesman said. “The scores in no way guarantee a license will be provided. Scores will be discussed at the January 9 meeting of the MMC.” 

Earlier this year, the commission hired a Boston consultant, Public Consulting Group, to grade more than 200 applications for the state’s first dispensaries. Arkansas can have no more than 32 dispensaries for medical marijuana.

In July, the commission awarded five licenses for businesses to grow medical marijuana.
