The Fort Smith cultivator at the center of a long-running legal dispute over its license received approval as the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission renewed its permit Thursday.
The owner of a medical marijuana grow operation that lost one of eight cultivation licenses allowed by the state has appealed to the Arkansas Supreme Court in a bid to get a new trial to decide the matter.

Arkansas medical marijuana regulators broke their own rules and made up new ones violating the state constitution to give a cultivation license to an obviously unqualified candidate, Pulaski County Circuit Judge Herb Wright found. He ordered that the license, the last of eight available, be rescinded and re-awarded using proper procedures.
Pulaski County Circuit Judge Herb Wright said he expects to decide by the end of the week whether to strip a Fort Smith medical marijuana grower of its cultivation license, the final one to be awarded, over accusations that state regulators wrongly awarded the license two years ago.
