Booking an appointment with your MMJ doctor is one thing (an easy thing with Elevate Holistics, just saying), but filling out your Arkansas medical marijuana card application is a whole different ballgame.
Thankfully, with Elevate Holistics’ full-service add-on, you don’t have to worry about filling out this application at all.
Regardless, if you have any questions about your Arkansas medical marijuana card application, we’re walking you through absolutely everything you need to know from start to finish. Let’s get started.
Arkansas Cannabis Regulations
Since recreational cannabis is not yet legal in Arkansas, being a medical patient is the only way to legally get your hands on the plant.
Medical marijuana is legal in Arkansas for those 18 and older with qualifying medical conditions. However, you cannot cultivate medical marijuana at home if you’re interested in cultivation.
Your Arkansas medical card allows you to buy marijuana products from any of the dispensaries in your area. Upon arrival, you’ll need to present your medical card to showcase that you’re a legal medical marijuana patient.
In the event that AR decides to legalize recreational marijuana, medical cardholders will experience various discounts and advantages that rec consumers won’t.
For example, states don’t tax medical marijuana the same way they do recreational cannabis products. This means that MMJ cardholders often pay less for the same product as recreational consumers.
So, for ultimate workplace protection and overall peace of mind, getting or renewing an Arkansas medical cannabis card is the way to go.
Denied once? You get a second opinion.
How Much Medical Marijuana Can Qualified Patients Have?
An Arkansas medical marijuana patient is allowed to possess up to 2.5 ounces from a dispensary in a 14-day period.
According to the AR medical marijuana program, patients can view their real-time cannabis allotment balance online!

How to Fill Out Your Arkansas Medical Marijuana Card Application
Now, let’s talk about the Arkansas medical marijuana certification process.
Not to spoil it, but with Elevate Holistics, you get to skip most of the steps we outline below. (But, we’ll talk more in detail about that later.)
Here’s what the process will look like to enjoy medical cannabis in the Land of Opportunity.
Step 1: Book an Appointment With a Certified MMJ Doctor
Before you register with the state to get your medical card, you have to get a physician written certification from a qualified medical marijuana doctor.
However, if you’re renewing your AR MMJ card, you can get an online physician’s certification — through Elevate Holistics, of course.
During your appointment, your medical marijuana doctor will ask you questions about your medical history and treatment attempts to see if you qualify.
If you do, you’ll receive your physician’s certification that you need for the next steps.
Step 2: Create an Account With the State
Once you get your physician’s certification, that means it’s time to create an account with the Arkansas Department of Health.
Head over to the state’s portal and follow the prompts depending on your Arkansas medical marijuana patient status. Make sure you write down your username and password so you can easily access your account.
Step 3: Fill Out Your Information and Pay the State Fe
Next, you’ll follow the steps on the Arkansas Department of Health’s portal, filling out information accurately.
Here, you’ll need to provide copies of your physician’s written certification (if you’re a new patient) and your state ID to register.
You must take photos of your certification and Arkansas-issued driver’s license or ID and then upload the copies to the website.
Finally, you’ll pay the state fee of $50 and wait for approval. It will take about 14 days to hear back from the Arkansas Department of Health about your status.
Once the state approves you, you’re legally allowed to purchase medical marijuana products with your card.
