The Texarkana, Ark., Planning Commission will meet today in a workshop to review and develop regulations regarding medical marijuana.
Topics will include a summary of state law regarding medical cannabis; proposed new zoning definitions; and locations suitable for the cultivation and dispensing of medical cannabis and suitable for its use in medical clinics designated for that purpose.
Arkansas voters last November legalized medical marijuana, clearing its use by people with certain medical conditions.
While setting up rules for licensing, legislators said growers must be at least 3,000 feet from churches, schools or daycares, while dispensaries must be 1,500 feet away, according to an Associated Press report.
The public is invited to attend the workshop. It is scheduled for 6 p.m. in the board room at City Hall, 216 Walnut St.
