HB 1889 Arkansas House · 2025 Regular Session

TO AMEND THE LIMITATIONS ON ACCESS TO A DISPENSARY OR CULTIVATION FACILITY; AND TO AUTHORIZE A DISPENSARY TO DELIVER ORDERS VIA A DELIVERY VEHICLE OR VIA A DRIVE-THROUGH WINDOW.

House Bill 1889 amends regulations for medical marijuana dispensaries and cultivation facilities. It allows parents, whether they hold a medical marijuana card or not, to bring their child who is a qualified patient into a facility to purchase usable marijuana. The bill also authorizes dispensaries to offer new services: home delivery of usable marijuana to qualified patients or caregivers via a delivery vehicle, and drive-through window pick-up for pre-ordered items. Both delivery and drive-through options require visual confirmation of the patient's identification card and adherence to specific packaging and security measures.
