Texarkana’s board of directors recently approved business license fees for dispensaries and medical cannabis growers in the state of Arkansas. Dispensaries, which will need to pay an initial $7,500 and then $11,000 for yearly license renewals, could be operational within city limits before the end of the year. The city of Texarkana has a population of 30,000, but another 37,000 people reside just over the state line in Texas, where marijuana remains illegal.
