State Confirms They Have Received Second Dispensary Application

I’m rooting for you, but there won’t be much time for potential corrections. We’re going to see a couple more returns in the next week if my sources are accurate. I wonder if the State will extend the deadline to reel in more applications. The State of Arkansas has, in my opinion, done a pretty good job so far in terms of flexibility, and a genuine desire to get this program up and running.
LOTS of hoops to jump through and detailed information to provide… which is to be expected. Financial worthiness, pharmacist & security contracts, business/operating plans, background checks, etc. I have heard several groups are having challenges providing all that is required. Is there one area or article on the application that has been the biggest struggle?
Out of curiosity – which zones have had submissions? It was my understanding that once received, app info was public. If so, where?
Allan, the application information won’t be available under the Freedom of Information Act until after all of the applications have been received – after September 18th.
Has the list of cultivation and dispensary applicants been released under the FOI act? If so, can you please publish it?
Paul, it hasn’t been released yet, but we’ll probably find out more about it at this coming Monday’s MMC meeting in Little Rock.
The first application was from a housewife, Amber Weinzimer, for the Hot Springs area.
Mrs. Weinzimer is a mother of three, graduate of Lake Hamilton HS and UofA Fayetteville. She will probably be one of the few 100% Arkansan applicants and probably the only 100% female sole proprietor applications.
