Arkansas prohibits all home cultivation of marijuana, including by registered medical patients. Amendment 98 and Title 5 Chapter 64 make any unlicensed cannabis growing a felony. Only state-licensed cultivation facilities may legally produce marijuana statewide.
Arkansas Constitutional Amendment 98 (the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Amendment of 2016) and the implementing Arkansas Medical Marijuana Act explicitly bar patient or caregiver home cultivation. Only the state's licensed cultivation facilities, regulated by the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission and Department of Finance and Administration Alcoholic Beverage Control Division, may grow cannabis. Recreational cultivation remains a felony under Arkansas Code 5-64-401. Possession of any number of live plants is treated as manufacturing. Local governments cannot authorize home growing because state law preempts the field. Medical patients must purchase from licensed dispensaries.
Home cultivation is a Class D felony or higher depending on plant count, punishable by up to 6 years prison, $10,000 fines, asset forfeiture, and federal prosecution risk.
