replace Dr. Steve Cathey on the board.
The group says Cathey chose not to serve on its board to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest with his position as chairman of the Arkansas State Medical Board.
The group says it’ll be a “leading voice” for cultivators, distributors and business serving the medical marijuana industry.
Voters in November approved legalizing medical marijuana for patients with
certain medical conditions, and the state is accepting applications for
cultivators and dispensaries until Sept. 18.
The association’s acting executive director is David Couch, who headed the
campaign for the medical marijuana measure.
