What is not published
- DFA compiles a rich monthly sales report and hands it to reporters.
- It is never posted as a retrievable file: no URL, no dataset, no archive.
- The FY annual report exists but carries no monthly series.
Why there is no page here
The data exists and is not published. That is a different absence from 'the data does not exist', and the difference matters: unblocking Arkansas needs a standing FOIA request, not a URL.
What would change this
A standing FOIA request filed with DFA and honoured. Until then there is nothing to fetch.
Why this page exists at all
Every US cannabis jurisdiction gets an entry on this site, including the ones with nothing to chart. A jurisdiction that is simply missing looks like an oversight; a jurisdiction whose absence is stated, sourced and dated is a finding. This site is a record of what governments publish, and that record has to include what they do not.
Nothing on this page is an estimate. Where a figure exists in press coverage, a law-firm summary or budget testimony but not in a published government artifact, it is named as unusable rather than repeated.
