This Wednesday there are important legislative committee meetings where the committee members will vote on pending medical marijuana (MMJ) legislation.
We need you to be there to show support for the industry and oppose the bills that could have a significant negative impact on the MMJ industry and Arkansas patients, including the smoking ban and the ban on edibles.
