Arkansas Constitutional Amendment 98 does not authorize home cultivation of cannabis. Little Rock residents, including registered medical patients, may not grow plants at home; doing so remains a state controlled-substance offense.
Unlike some medical-cannabis states, Arkansas Amendment 98 (2016) explicitly does not permit home cultivation by patients or caregivers. All medical cannabis must be obtained from a state-licensed dispensary. Cultivation is restricted to a small number of state-licensed cultivation facilities supervised by the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission and the Alcoholic Beverage Control Division. Growing even a single plant at home, regardless of patient status, can be charged under Arkansas Code Title 5 controlled-substance laws, with felony penalties scaling by plant count and weight. Little Rock police enforce alongside state authorities.
State felony controlled-substance charges, asset forfeiture exposure, and revocation of any medical patient registration card upon conviction.
