Arkansas Dispensary License Issuing Stoppage Lifted

Barely one week after Arkansas' medical marijuana dispensary licensing machinery was turned off due to a judge's order, it can now be switched on again. A halt in mandatory licensing activity ordered by Pulaski County Circuit Judge Wendell Griffen is over, after Griffen dismissed a lawsuit over the process.

Last month one applicant in the program, privately held Medicanna, filed a lawsuit against the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission and a pair of other state agencies. The company claimed that Nature's Herbs and Wellness, a rival, was less qualified for a license than itself, but nevertheless was granted a permit by the state. Griffen subsequently imposed a temporary stoppage to the licensing program.
