Arkansans Ask: Medical Marijuana


In November 2016, Arkansans passed Issue 6, which legalized marijuana for medical use in the state. But what does that mean for the average person? A panel of experts discuss what medical marijuana’s legality means for you, the development of dispensaries and cultivation facilities, and what the amendment calls for moving forward.

Guests include: Robert Brech, chief legal counsel for the Arkansas Department of Health; Bud Roberts, director of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Administration; and State Representative Douglas House. Steve Barnes will serve as host.
