LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) – An eastern Arkansas facility has become the first to
get approval to begin growing medical marijuana to provide to dispensaries.
A state finance department spokesman said Friday the BOLD Team cultivation
facility in Cotton Plant was approved after officials conducted a final
inspection earlier this month.
BOLD is one of five companies that the state licensed last year to grow
medical marijuana. Arkansas voters in 2016 approved a constitutional amendment
legalizing marijuana for medical use.
BOLD Team said in a statement that it expects to have medicine available for
dispensaries in April.
The state Medical Marijuana Commission earlier this week named the 32
companies it plans to license as dispensaries.
