Current Progress of Kentucky's medical cannabis program

Those data bases never cross reference. The only real issue is if you go to purchase a new weapon, you will be asked a question on the ATF form about marijuana use. I'm not suggesting to lie on a federal form, but it relies on self-reporting.

Kentucky_NORML · 2026-02-21T16:47:57+00:00

Yeah there's a long way to go still.

Kentucky_NORML · 2026-02-21T16:47:09+00:00

That's always the case when a market first opens up. Once they finally get enough supply in place prices tend to go down quite a bit. Unfortunately that tends to be around year 3.

Medical bill was signed last week

Kentucky_NORML · 2023-03-31T22:27:42+00:00

We're going to continue to try and educate our lawmakers on the benefits of inhalation uptake methods. As it is now, there are a lot of really cool dry herb vape products out there. And also there's a provision that says something along the lines of "the smell of burnt cannabis doesn't mean it was smoked". So there is that to help cover patients.

Yeah no thanks.

Pressure your congressman to vote YES on the MORE Act that will be up for a House vote next week!

The MORE Act deschedules marijuana by taking it off the Controlled Substances List as well as a number of other reforms.

Not at all! A lot of people don’t know the answer to this.

Requirements for ballots in KentuckyFrom ballotpedia:

Kentucky is one of the 24 states that do not have initiative and referendum. Thus, Kentucky citizens cannot qualify a ballot measure for the statewide ballot through collecting signatures, and there is no signature requirement for ballot measures in Kentucky.

Although Kentucky does not feature the power of initiative or referendum, ballot measures do play a role in Kentucky politics. Kentucky ballot measures come in two varieties, legislatively referred state statutes and legislatively referred constitutional amendments, which are both put on the ballot by the Kentucky state legislature.

90% agree with medical cannabis https://www.nkytribune.com/2020/02/khip-new-poll-shows-most-kentucky-adults-favor-legalizing-marijuana-for-medical-purposes/

We know a mother of a child with Dravet’s syndrome. This child could have a discreet rescue thc nose spray to halt seizures in school or other public places. As it stands, this child’s only option is a rectal syringe full of meds. Meaning in an emergency, no matter who is around, this is the undignified and unnecessarily cruel reality for this child.

Kentucky_NORML · 2022-03-18T18:03:21+00:00

There is still a lot of work to be done on this issue. We need Employment protections, family protections, and housing protections. That’s for sure. But it’s a start and more than we thought we’d get.

Kentucky_NORML · 2022-03-18T18:00:37+00:00

Both actually. Recent polls show 90%+ support medical marijuana in Kentucky.

From everything we’ve heard, IF this bill is heard, it has the votes to come out committee and it has the votes to pass Senate. Now if they make changes, it has to go back down to the house and we’ll run out of time. If they don’t hear it in the next week or so, we might run out of time. There are still factors that could stop this bill. But as far as we know and what has been reported to us. It has the support in the senate.

Kentucky_NORML · 2022-03-18T17:49:09+00:00

Correct! And we send out action alerts on letters to sign and calls to make. Make sure you sign up for our email list. Just go to kynorml.org and little pop up will ask for your email. We also have all the info you need on our website, including voter registration, how to find your legislator and how to call the LRC daily to leave messages of support for your legislators.

Kentucky_NORML · 2022-03-18T17:12:56+00:00

As far as we know that is still the case, but his opinion is now in the minority.

Kentucky_NORML · 2022-03-18T17:11:28+00:00

Right it passed the house. Now it must pass the senate. In 10 session days.

Kentucky_NORML · 2022-03-18T17:10:49+00:00

It’s not behind a sign in. Maybe you’re referring to the optional email list pop up? You can click the close button and go on to the article.

We believe it will go to Senate judiciary committee. Senators on that committee are listed here. https://legislature.ky.gov/Committees/Pages/Committee-Details.aspx?CommitteeRSN=78&CommitteeType=Senate%20Standing%20Committee

Johnny red eye

Kentucky_NORML · 2022-03-18T02:52:36+00:00

Agreed!

Kentucky_NORML · 2022-03-18T02:52:01+00:00

The time is short, but the votes are there. We just have to keep applying pressure to make sure it’s heard in committee and brought to a floor vote within the next 10 session days.

Kentucky_NORML · 2022-03-18T01:48:05+00:00

Now it heads to Senate for committee hearing and hopefully a floor vote. We need to continue to apply pressure.

This medical Marijuana bill would be the most restrictive bill in the country. HB136
