Arkansas agency begins drafting medical marijuana rules

3673959
     (AP) – Labels for medical marijuana products sold in Arkansas
would have to include details on their laboratory analysis, dosage and warnings
under a draft of rules being prepared for the launch of the first medical pot
program in the Bible Belt.
     A draft of the rules by the state Department of Health released to The
Associated Press on Wednesday details the process for patients to obtain
registry cards for buying medical marijuana, the lab testing requirements for
the drug and the process for adding new qualifying conditions. Arkansas voters
on Nov. 8 approved a constitutional amendment legalizing pot for patients with
certain medical conditions.
     The department said it hoped to present the rules to the state Board of Health
in January before it begins gathering public comment.
