     (AP) – Members of the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission

are to be announced.

     Gov. Asa Hutchinson, Senate President Pro Tem Jonathan Dismang and House

Speaker Jeremy Gillam are to announce the appointments Wednesday at the state

Capital.

     The five-member commission is to administer and regulate the licensing of

medical marijuana dispensaries and cultivation facilities in the state. It is to

begin accepting applications for the dispensaries by June.

     Voters in November passed a state constitutional amendment legalizing medical

marijuana for patients with certain conditions, including cancer, glaucoma,

Tourette’s syndrome, Alzheimer’s disease and hepatitis C.
