Where does the money from Medical Marijuana Sales go?
KATV summarized where this money goes in an article at the end of 2023. Posted below with the link to their website. https://katv.com/news/local/arkansas-1-billion-medical-marijuana-sales-benefiting-food-insecurity-efforts-across-the-state-medical-marijuana-commission-spokesperson-scott-hardin-recreational-program-dispensaries-national-cancer-institute-tax-profits-health-medicine-medicinal
"A billion dollars has been spent to purchase medical marijuana but what that means for the state is that we've collected 115 million dollars in state tax revenue. From that $115... $87 went to UAMS specifically as they tried to obtain that National Cancer Institute designation. Now there's a change. Now that funding is going to go specifically to food insecurity," Medical Marijuana Commission, Spokesperson, Scott Hardin said.
"What that'll mean is, if someone is on a reduced school lunch, if they are now paying 50 cents to a dollar, that medical marijuana revenue steps in and pays that to ensure that a student gets that for free. So really students in the state will be not having to pay whatever that burden is. 50 cents, a $1.50 to have reduced school lunch so it really is, it's affecting Arkansans in a positive way, " Hardin said.
"Unless something changes, unless voters go back to the polls and either accept a modified program or a recreational program or something that's really where we are. The industry itself you're not going to see more dispensaries opening up all over the state. You're not going to see more growers but what we are seeing is more patients. At the beginning of the year we had 89 thousand patients. Now we are pushing 100 thousand."
