Brian ChilsonREVOKED PERMIT: Dragan Vicentic is the sole owner of Green Springs Medical dispensary.
The state Alcoholic Beverage Control Division revoked the license of dispensary Green Springs Medical of Hot Springs today after a series of violations that included the selling of more than 1,800 expired products, the ABC said in a statement.
The decision by state regulators marked the first time the ABC has revoked a medical marijuana permit since the industry launched in 2019.

The revocation, detailed in this letter from ABC, was the result of ongoing violations, including an undercover purchase of expired products made by ABC enforcement agents in October. The purchase followed a verbal warning, according to the statement from ABC.
Scott Hardin, a spokesman for ABC, said the dispensary has indicated it will appeal the decision, which immediately stays the revocation until the ABC board holds a hearing on the case. Hardin said the matter was likely to be heard at the ABC’s June meeting. A decision by ABC board can be further appealed to circuit court.
