The ABC revoked the dispensary license for Green Springs Medical Dispensary in Hot Springs due to ongoing violations, including selling expired products.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. — The Arkansas Alcoholic Beverage Control Division (ABC) announced the revocation of the dispensary license for Green Springs Medical Dispensary in Hot Springs due to ongoing violations, including selling over 1,800 expired products.

This is the first revocation issued by the ABC since the Arkansas medical marijuana industry launched in mid-2019. 

“Arkansans approved a strictly regulated medical marijuana program,” said Trent Minner, leader of the Department of Finance and Administration’s Regulatory Division, which includes ABC. “For the safety of the industry and patients, ABC has a responsibility to ensure compliance with the law. Despite receiving over 50 violations and warnings over the last four years, Green Springs has continued its pattern of noncompliance. A license to operate in the medical marijuana industry in Arkansas is a privilege not to be taken lightly. When state law is consistently disregarded, ABC has a duty to revoke the license.”

According to reports, agents conducted an undercover purchase of expired products in October 2023 following a verbal warning.
