Kentucky Senate Committee Advances Medical Marijuana Bill for Serious Health Conditions

FRANKFORT, KY - The Senate Licensing and Occupations Committee has advanced a SB 47, a bill that would allow people with serious medical conditions to use medicinal cannabis in Kentucky. The bill’s primary sponsor, Sen. Stephen West, R-Paris, described the measure and the work surrounding it as “a long road.”

Several medical conditions could qualify someone to use the product, including cancer, chronic and other types of pain, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, muscle spasms, chronic nausea, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Before accessing cannabis, patients would have to register and receive approval for a special identification card. Patients under 18 years old would not be allowed to possess, purchase, or acquire medicinal cannabis without the assistance of a designated caregiver. The bill would also create separate licenses for cultivators, dispensers, and producers.
