Arkansans continue to spend almost $900,000 each day on medical cannabis purchases and recently surpassed the $300 million mark in sales, figures released by the AMMC indicate.
Scott Hardin, spokesperson for the Commission, says since the first dispensary opened in mid-2019, Arkansans have spent a total of $303.5 million to purchase 45,286 pounds of medical marijuana. In April, Arkansans spent $18.5 million to purchase 2,517 pounds of cannabis.
The daily average of $885,000 Arkansans are spending on medical marijuana purchases is an increase of $5,000 compared to figures reported last month.
