With the 18 current qualifying conditions for medical marijuana in Arkansas, many of these conditions are experienced with common symptoms such as pain, fatigue, and nausea to name a few. Fortunately, marijuana is known for its incredible versatility in treating a number of different medical conditions and symptoms.

​

Every strain of marijuana will have a slightly different effect. This is thanks to a unique mixture of compounds found within termed

phytonutrients. These include things like THC, CBD, other cannabinoids, terpenes, and more.
