Only one chance to get it right: preparing to launch medical marijuana in Kentucky
Last session, Kentucky joined the majority of other states across the nation in legalizing the use of cannabis for medicinal purposes. Lawmakers approved SB 47, which established the framework for the state’s medical marijuana program. As the guidelines are being implemented, the state has an opportunity to identify areas that need to be addressed or improved. This session, we passed HB 829, a measure that adds additional provision aimed at ensuring we get the program’s launch right.
