Medical marijuana patients in Arkansas spent $23.1 million on cannabis products in January and $22.4 million in February for a total of $45.5 million in the two-month period. According to the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration (DFA), sales for the first two months of 2023 were up $4 million over the same period the previous year, which represents a year-over-year increase of about 9.6 percent. More than 92,000 active medical marijuana patients are registered with the Arkansas Department of Health, according to the DFA.
