Arkansas licenses a limited number of cannabis cultivation facilities. In Little Rock, cultivation is permitted only in industrial zones with state buffer compliance; co-location with dispensaries is not permitted under state rules.
Arkansas caps cultivation facility licenses statewide and tightly regulates them through the Medical Marijuana Commission. In Little Rock, cultivation operations are confined to industrial zoning districts (such as I-2 and I-3) where security, odor control, and truck access are appropriate. Indoor-only cultivation is the norm; outdoor canopy is not permitted. Facilities must satisfy the 1,500-foot buffer from schools, churches, and daycares. State rules separate cultivation licenses from dispensary licenses, so co-located grow-and-sell operations are not allowed. Local site plans must address odor, lighting, and 24-hour security camera coverage.
Operating cultivation in a non-industrial zone or without state license invites zoning enforcement, state license revocation, and felony controlled-substance charges.
