Fredrick Love on Drugs

 

 


Allow but limit usage and possession of medical marijuana

HB1452 - Clarifying the law on the use of medical marijuana in certain places; and to prohibit the possession of an unsealed container of certain forms of medical marijuana in a motor vehicle.

Summary by Marijuana Policy Project, May 23, 2025 Arkansas remains one of only 19 states that still punishes possession of cannabis with possible jail time. However, it does have a voter-enacted medical cannabis program, which is serving well over 100,000 patients. The 2025 legislative session continued the pattern that has been the new normal in Arkansas and saw little in the way of moving cannabis policy forward.

Legislative Outcome:Passed House 80-2-18 on Feb/27/25; passed Senate 32-0-3 on Mar/6/25; Fredrick Love voted YES; signed by Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Mar/12/25
