About the State of Arkansas

Arkansas, also known as the Natural State and The Land of Opportunity, is located in the southern region of the United States and is bordered by Missouri, Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, Texas and Oklahoma. There are some extremely beautiful places to visit in Arkansas like Hot Springs National Park. To explain, these hot springs in the Ouachita Mountains have long been a source of interest to people living in the area, and were believed by American Indians to have healing properties. The park was established in 1921, but visitors have been coming here for much longer. The park contains lovely old bathhouses that are still in use today in various forms, including the historic Fordyce Bathhouse, which is now the park’s visitor center. There are several other attractions within the park, including an observation tower, hiking trails, and plenty of opportunity to experience the different hot springs that define this natural retreat.

If you are not too keen on being outdoors, then maybe the Arkansas Air Museum is more up your alley. On display at the Arkansas Air Museum in Fayetteville are 1920s and 30s racing planes, biplanes, and information on the history of military aviation and civilian air travel. The building that houses the museum is a 1940s-era aircraft hangar. Many of the vintage aircraft on display at the museum are in flying condition. Besides the massive airplanes that are hard to miss, permanent exhibits here include a large collection of military ground vehicles and artifacts from the Golden Age of air racing. Visitors will also find a tribute to the second-most famous American female pilot, Louise McPhetridge, who was born in the nearby city of Bentonville.

State of Arkansas Drug Testing News

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, in 2017, Arkansas had approximately 188 overdose deaths that directly related to opioids, this puts them at a rate of 6.5 deaths per 100,000 persons. This rate is considerably lower than the national average rate of 14.6 deaths per 100,000 persons during the same time period.

Research revealed that within these deaths 125 were due to prescription opioids, 68 were related to synthetic opioids such as fentanyl and 15 related to heroin. Although deaths involving prescription opioids have been on a decline, deaths related to synthetic opioids have been on the rise.

Research also revealed that in 2017, Arkansas providers wrote approximately 105.4 opioid prescriptions for every 100 persons, which is nearly double the national average rate of 58.7.

NAS or neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS) may occur when a pregnant woman uses drugs such as opioids during pregnancy. A recent national study showed a fivefold increase in the incidence of NAS/NOWS between 2004 and 2014, from 1.5 cases per 1,000 hospital births to 8.0 cases per 1,000 hospital births―that is one baby born with NAS/NOWS every 15 minutes. During the same period, hospital costs for NAS/NOWS births increased from $91 million to $563 million, after adjusting for inflation.

Between 2000 and 2014, the rate of NAS/NOWS in Arkansas increased more than tenfold, from 0.3 per 1,000 hospital births to 3.2 per 1,000 hospital births (Arkansas Department of Health). The rate was four times higher among whites, including Hispanics, (4.1 per 1,000 hospital births) compared to non-whites (1.1 per 1,000 hospital births).

The new amendment is specifically meant for patients who have any of 17 qualifying conditions, which include cancer, Tourette’s syndrome, Chrohn’s disease, fibromyalgia, post-traumatic stress disorder and HIV/AIDS. Patients with a written statement from a doctor certifying they have a qualifying condition will be able to purchase medical marijuana from dispensaries and will not be permitted to grow their own marijuana plants.
