Beshear announced Thursday that the Kentucky Medical Cannabis Program will begin accepting license applications for medical marijuana businesses starting Monday, July 1, six months ahead of the original schedule.
Businesses interested in growing, processing, or selling medical marijuana in Kentucky can begin applying for permits as part of an expedited effort to have products available by early 2025. Businesses can apply for licenses until the end of August.
The aim is to have some medical marijuana available in January when the products become legal.
Starting January 1, patients with qualifying conditions such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, chronic pain, epilepsy, chronic nausea, or post-traumatic stress disorder can begin the process of applying for medical marijuana cards.
“The Beshear administration is committed to ensuring Kentuckians with qualifying medical conditions have safe, affordable access to medical cannabis,” said Cabinet for Health and Family Services Secretary Eric Friedlander.
Doctors and nurses can also start applying to certify eligible patients for medical marijuana.
The program has released a series of YouTube webinars, a Business Licensing Application Guide, and other materials to assist applicants throughout the process. All of these are available on Kentucky’s Office of Medical Cannabis website.
Ive been growing pot since the seventies. Thank you Andy Brashear for making what was once illegal legal. Hopefully soon everyone can fire one up and honor our dope supporting Governor Andy Brashear. Twist one up Rainbow Gov.
DA it’s still illegal federal laws.
And by the way it’s the MAGA legislatures who controls what passes in Frankfort not the governor they have a veto proof majority. I am surprised every time I read something you put on here. You should ask for a refund on your education.
Hey SOB, Its your trans loving Gov. Brashear who signed it into law. Medical pot now recreational next.
Once again DA a veto proof majority.
