A measure looking to further open medical marijuana access in Arkansas looks to now be off the November 2024 ballot.

Officials with Arkansas Secretary of State John Thurston’s office sent a notice to Arkansans for Patient Access on Monday stating that the qualified signatures submitted during the extra “curing” period following the original deadline were not enough to place the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Amendment in front of voters. Arkansas medical marijuana sales broke all records for 2023

The letter from Thurston’s office stated that 10,521 of the new submissions “were deemed valid” and would be combined to the earlier total. However, the letter continued, that combined amount would only be 88,040, which falls below the threshold set for the November ballot of 90,704.

Leaders with Arkansans for Patient Access claim that the group had far surpassed the ballot threshold, saying they had submitted more than 150,000 signatures that came from every county in Arkansas.
