Arkansas’ medical marijuana program reached a new milestone in 2025. Patients across the state spent more than $291 million on medical marijuana, setting a new annual sales record and continuing a trend of steady growth since the program launched.

This new record highlights how important medical marijuana has become for many Arkansans managing qualifying medical conditions.

A Record-Breaking Year for Medical Marijuana Sales

In 2025, licensed dispensaries across Arkansas reported over $291 million in medical marijuana sales, making it the highest annual total in state history. This surpassed the previous record of about $283 million in 2023 and represented a noticeable increase compared to approximately $276 million in sales in 2024.

Dispensaries also sold more marijuana by weight than ever before. Patients purchased more than 79,000 pounds of medical marijuana statewide, showing strong demand throughout the year.

These numbers reflect a mature and growing medical marijuana program that continues to serve patients across Arkansas.

Patient Participation Continues to Grow

By the end of 2025, Arkansas had over 115,000 active medical marijuana cardholders. This growing patient base has played a major role in the increase in sales.

Medical marijuana is commonly used by Arkansas patients to help manage chronic pain, PTSD, cancer, and other qualifying conditions approved by the state. As awareness of the program increases, more residents are choosing medical marijuana as a treatment option.

Medical Marijuana Sales Support State Revenue

Medical marijuana sales also provide financial benefits for Arkansas.

In 2025, sales generated more than $32 million in state tax revenue through standard sales tax and the medical marijuana privilege tax. These funds help support public programs and services while allowing patients safe and legal access to marijuana through the state’s medical system.

What This Record Means for the Future

The strong sales numbers from 2025 show that Arkansas’ medical marijuana program is well established and continuing to grow. Increased patient participation and consistent demand suggest that medical marijuana will remain an important part of healthcare options in the state.

As the program evolves, patients may continue to see improved access, expanded product options, and ongoing support from licensed dispensaries and medical providers.
