Is Medical Marijuana Legalized in Kentucky?
Governor Beshear issued an executive order, “Executive Action Relating to Medical Cannabis,” effective January 1st, 2023. This order provides a framework for Kentucky’s medical marijuana program, allowing the use of medical marijuana with a Kentucky certificate. Patients can possess up to eight ounces of legally purchased marijuana. However, it does not permit the sale of medical marijuana within Kentucky; patients must buy from licensed dispensaries in neighboring states.
In 2025, Senate Bill 47 will allow patients with qualifying conditions to get a doctor’s recommendation for medical cannabis. This bill will enable the sale of medical marijuana within Kentucky and permit various forms like capsules, tinctures, and topicals, but not smoking marijuana.
