JONESBORO, Ark. (KAIT) – Arkansans are buying more pounds of medical marijuana this year but spending a lot less on it.
According to the Arkansas Department of Finance’s November report released Monday, Dec. 23, patients spent $24 million in November on medical marijuana, bringing the year’s total to $251.9 million.
By this time last year, consumers had spent $257.4 million.
“Although the overall spend is down year to year, there is a significant increase in pounds purchased, an indication of lower prices,” the release said.
