Little Rock Anchor is Going to Pot

It was a secret she knew she couldn't hide and she decided to tell people before they found out some other way (you know, like from FTVLive). 

KLRT Anchor Donna Terrell is part of a group granted a medical marijuana cultivation permit in the state, she disclosed on air Tuesday.

Terrell told viewers that her disclosure came in part because the information would be made public soon. 

“I wanted to be the first to tell you,” she said.

The five receiving permits during a meeting of the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission were: Natural State Medicinals Cultivation, Bold Team LLC, Natural State Wellness Enterprises, Osage Creek Cultivation and Delta Medical Cannabis Co. Inc. Terrell did not say which group she is associated with. 

Terrell said that her involvement in medical marijuana cultivation came as a result of her daughter, Queah, who died seven years ago from colon cancer.

“It’s because of her,” Terrell said during the station’s Tuesday night broadcast, referencing a photo of her daughter with her at an event.

“I know medical marijuana would not have saved her life but based on my research and experience as her caregiver, I know she would have benefited greatly,” Terrell said.
