Sort of! Weed is partially legal in Arkansas.

In Arkansas, the legal landscape for marijuana is split between medical and recreational use. Medical marijuana is permitted for registered patients with specific health conditions, available through licensed dispensaries. However, recreational marijuana use is illegal, with penalties for possession that vary based on the quantity held. Arkansas strictly monitors and regulates its medical marijuana program to ensure it is used solely for health-related purposes.

For specific compounds like Delta-8, Delta-9 THC, and THCA, Arkansas's approach is cautious. Delta-9 THC, the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, is regulated under the state's medical program. The legal status of Delta-8 THC is more complex and subject to changing regulations. CBD derived from hemp is legal, provided it contains less than 0.3% THC, in line with federal guidelines from the 2018 Farm Bill. This allows for the sale of CBD products under state-specific regulations that ensure safety and correct labeling.
