LITTLE ROCK, Ark.- Medical marijuana sales in Arkansas are approaching $220 million, with record sales happening on New Year’s Eve.

There are currently 32 dispensaries operating in Arkansas and six that are working toward opening. Thirty-eight dispensaries have been licensed.

The Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission spokesperson said the state saw a record day of sales on December 31, 2020, with more than $1.22 million sold.
