If you're a medical marijuana patient in Arkansas, understanding how your allotment works and how to use your marijuana card at a dispensary is key to getting the relief you need. Whether you're searching for a “dispensary near me” or checking how much marijuana you have left for the month, here's everything you need to know.


How Does the Arkansas Marijuana Allotment Work?

Arkansas medical marijuana patients are allowed to purchase up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana every 14 days from a state-licensed dispensary. This limit resets every two weeks and is carefully tracked by the Arkansas Department of Health’s medical marijuana registry system.


The allotment system is designed to prevent overuse and ensure patients are receiving appropriate amounts based on medical need. However, many patients aren’t sure how to check their remaining balance, or even when their cycle resets.


How to Check Your Allotment

To check how much marijuana you’ve purchased and what you have left in your current cycle:

  1. Visit the official Arkansas Medical Marijuana Portal.

  2. Log in using the credentials you created when you applied for your medical marijuana card.

  3. Navigate to your Patient Dashboard to view your current allotment usage and purchase history.


It's important to regularly check your balance so you don’t get turned away at the dispensary when trying to buy marijuana.


Finding a Dispensary Near You

Over 30 dispensaries are operating across Arkansas, offering everything from flower and vapes to tinctures and edibles. If you’re looking for a dispensary near me, you can check out our dispensary page. The Arkansas Department of Health also provides a list of licensed locations by region.


When visiting a dispensary, always bring:

  • Your Arkansas Medical Marijuana Card

  • A valid government-issued ID


Some dispensaries also offer online menus and pre-ordering, making it easier to plan your visit and stay within your allotment.


How to Use Your Arkansas Marijuana Card

Once you’ve received your card in the mail or downloaded a digital copy, you’re eligible to shop at any licensed medical marijuana dispensary in the state.


Here’s how it works:

  • Bring Your Card & ID: You must present both at the dispensary.

  • Review Your Allotment: Dispensary staff can check your remaining balance, but it's always a good idea to check it yourself first.

  • Make Your Purchase: You can buy up to your available allotment, just remember that each purchase gets subtracted from your 14-day limit.


Tips for Staying Within Your Allotment

  • Track Your Usage: After each dispensary visit, make a note of how much marijuana you bought.

  • Plan Your Purchases: Don’t wait until the last minute! Dispensaries can get busy, and certain products may sell out.

  • Ask Questions: Budtenders can help you choose products that give you the best relief while staying within your limits.


Final Thoughts

Understanding how your marijuana allotment works and how to properly use your card gives you more control over your treatment. Whether you're checking your balance or searching for a dispensary near me, staying informed ensures a smoother, more effective experience as a patient.
