Apply for Your Bentonville Medical Marijuana Card Online

Yes, the Arkansas medical cannabis act legalized marijuana for medical use in 2016 across the state.

However, the first dispensaries did not open until 2019. Patients who have a medical card can purchase up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis every two weeks.

Those who don’t have a medical card can face serious consequences if they are caught with marijuana. This could include a hefty fine, jail time, and a six-month driver’s license suspension, depending on how much marijuana you are carrying.

It’s also important to note that members of the US Military or Arkansas National Guard are not allowed to get a medical marijuana card. If you’re a gun owner and concerned about getting a medical card, you can read our blog post for more information.

You get your Bentonville medical marijuana card practically the same way you renew it! For a quick refresher, here are the basic steps:

1. Make an appointment with a Bentonville marijuana doctor. Once your doctor approves you, they will need to fill out the written certification form, which you will then submit along with your application.
2. Next, apply through the Arkansas Department of Health’s online portal. You can upload a scan of your doctor’s written certification, and you’ll also need to provide proof of ID and Arkansas residence.
3. Finally, you’ll need to pay the $50 application fee, and then your application will be sent to the board for review. You can also opt to print out the application and mail it in, but this makes the process take much longer.

To get a Bentonville medical marijuana card, you will need the following pieces of documentation:

• Signed Physician Written Certification
• The patient registry application form
• Copy of your AR driver’s license or state ID
• $50 application fee

It only costs $50 to register with the Arkansas Patient and Caregiver Registry, and this is an annual fee. On top of the $50 registration fee, you’ll have to pay for your appointment.

At Elevate Holistics, this costs just $130. 

In total, with Elevate, the cost of getting your Bentonville MMJ card from start to finish is just $180.

According to Bentonville marijuana laws, patients and caregivers can purchase up to 2.5 ounces — or 70.87 grams — every two weeks from one Arkansas dispensary.

You may find specific possession restrictions for certain “pain patients,” but this is up to the ADH’s discretion.

No. Neither patients nor caregivers are permitted to cultivate cannabis in Bentonville or the rest of Arkansas.

You can only purchase and consume cannabis products, not grow them.

Any person caught cultivating cannabis will get charged with either simple possession or possession with an intent to deliver charge, depending on how much cannabis they grew. Just don’t do it.
