Staying Compliant with the Kentucky's Medical Cannabis Program
Getting to know regulations in Kentucky
Gov. Andy Beshear took a significant step towards reducing the dependency of Kentuckians on addictive opioids and offering them relief from severe and chronic pain. On March 31, 2023, he officially signed Senate Bill 47, which paves the way for the legalization of medical cannabis in the commonwealth. This progressive measure will come into effect on January 1, 2025.
Under the Kentucky medical cannabis program, patients with qualifying medical conditions may be eligible to receive a medical cannabis prescription. The law establishes a regulatory framework for the cultivation, processing, and dispensing of medical cannabis.
