North Little Rock residents follow Arkansas's two-step Amendment 98 pathway — telehealth visit with an Arkansas-licensed physician, then apply at the ADH portal. From Argenta and Park Hill to Indian Hills and Burns Park, every step happens from home.
Book a real-time video visit with an Arkansas-licensed physician (MD or DO) through this platform. Pursuant to Act 1112 of 2021, Arkansas allows physician written certification assessments to be conducted via telehealth. The physician reviews your condition against Arkansas's qualifying conditions under Amendment 98 of 2016, administered by the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH). Qualifying conditions include cancer, glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis C, ALS, Tourette's syndrome, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, PTSD, severe arthritis, fibromyalgia, Alzheimer's disease, peripheral neuropathy, intractable pain, and severe/persistent muscle spasms. If you qualify, the physician completes the ADH Physician Written Certification electronically.
After the physician completes the Physician Written Certification, apply online at the ADH patient application portal, submitting the certification, your Arkansas ID, and the $50 non-refundable state fee paid directly to the ADH. The separate clinic consultation fee is paid at booking. Processing takes up to 14 business days. Once approved, you print your own registry card directly from the ADH portal and can purchase up to 2.5 oz per 14-day period at any licensed Arkansas dispensary.
Whether you're in Argenta, Park Hill, Indian Hills, near Burns Park, or anywhere across North Little Rock — your Arkansas-licensed physician is a real-time video call away.
