How To Get A Medical Marijuana Card In Arkansas Renewed: Your Step-by-Step Process

Arkansas medical marijuana card

In the past, getting your Arkansas medical marijuana renewed may have been a bit of a pain — but not with Elevate Holistics.

Elevate Holistics makes renewing your AR MMJ card more effortless than ever before. With our advanced telemedicine platform, you don’t even have to leave the comfort of your couch to get approved.

Our expert MMJ doctors have been working with AR residents for years, helping people of all backgrounds get the Arkansas medical marijuana cards they deserve. And it all happens in only three steps.

Here’s our three-step process on how to get medical marijuana in Arkansas.

Arkansas medical marijuana card

Step One:

Meet With an MMJ Doctor (Like Us!)

The first step to getting your Arkansas medical cannabis card is to see a medical marijuana doctor.

Not every doctor in Arkansas is qualified or willing to provide medical marijuana approvals, so you will need to find one that specializes in this – just like we do at Elevate Holistics!

During the appointment, your doctor will confirm that you have one of the qualifying medical conditions and answer any questions you may have. They will then complete a written certification form, which you will submit later on in the application process.

Thankfully, Elevate Holistics makes it easy to renew your medical card online. We offer secure online appointments with certified Arkansas medical marijuana doctors that can answer all of the cannabis questions you may have.

With our online renewal appointments, you can get your medical marijuana certification from the comfort of your own home. Our services are affordable and HIPAA-compliant, keeping you safe and secure every step of the way.

Oh, and did we mention everything will take less than 15 minutes?

Step Two:

Get Approved and Register With the State

Once you have your written certification from your doctor, you can complete the rest of the Arkansas medical marijuana renewal application through the Arkansas state medical board.

Or, you can mail in your application if you’d prefer. However, online applications are recommended, as they are processed much faster than mailed applications.

You should note that the application for new patients and renewals is the same

In addition to your written doctor’s certification, you will also need to provide proof of Arkansas residency and pay the $50 application fee.

Step Three:

Get Your MMJ Card and Start Shopping!

After you’ve submitted your renewal application, the board will review it within 10 to 14 days.

Once it’s been processed and approved, you will be able to print out your medical marijuana card at home.

Arkansas does not issue temporary medical marijuana cards. When you have your card, you will be able to visit an Arkansas dispensary and purchase the products you need. It really is that simple — especially when you turn to Elevate Holistics.

Arkansas Medical Marijuana Qualifying Conditions

In order to get your MMJ card, you will need to have one of the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Act qualifying conditions.

There are currently 18 medical conditions that qualify for medical cannabis in Arkansas. Those conditions are:

If you are unsure of whether or not you qualify for medical marijuana in Arkansas, it may be worth seeing a doctor and getting their recommendation.

There is some flexibility in terms of using marijuana as a treatment for chronic pain and nausea.

Can Minors Get Medical Cards in Arkansas?

Arkansas medical marijuana card

Yes, minors can absolutely get medical cards in Arkansas. However, if you’re under 18, you have to have a legal guardian or parent register as your caregiver.

Caregivers are in charge of purchasing, possessing, and even administering the medical cannabis product for the minor. Anyone under 18 cannot register with AR’s MMJ program on their own.

Unfortunately, right now, we do not offer minor appointments for Arkansas residents.
