LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) – An Arkansas lawmaker has proposed adding 40 more conditions that would qualify patients to use medical marijuana in the state.
Republican Rep. Douglas House’s legislation filed Monday would add asthma, attention deficit disorder, autism, bipolar disorder, Parkinson’s disease, traumatic brain injury and several others to the qualifying conditions for medical marijuana. Arkansas voters in 2016 legalized medical marijuana.
A state panel last week announced the 32 companies it plans to license as dispensaries, and last year licensed five cultivation facilities to grow medical marijuana. Two of the cultivation facilities have said they expect to have it available for dispensaries by April.
