These cards purport to grant the holder legal access to medical marijuana, but they are usually invalid and provide no actual legal protection. In some cases, the individuals selling these fake cards may also ask for personal information, such as a social security number or medical records, which can be used for identity theft. To avoid falling victim to medical cannabis card scams, individuals in Kentucky should be aware of the conditions of qualifications in the Governor's Executive Order on Medical Cannabis and should only obtain medical marijuana from legitimate out-of-state legal dispensaries. It is also important to be wary of offers for discounted or "fast track" medical and to not provide personal information to anyone offering a card. While the availability of medical marijuana can provide relief to individuals suffering from certain conditions, it is important to obtain it legally and safely to avoid the risks associated with scams and illegal possession. Qualifying patients in Kentucky should also keep the original receipts and packaging for product purchased in legal out-of-state markets in order to adhere to the Governor's Executive Order.

You will need to visit a physician who has registered to recommend cannabis to patients.

I have 2 qualifying condition, but I receive my health care via The Veterans Administration. I recently applied for VA disability & my doctor wrote me out a paper that she said would help me get approved. I'm sure this letter would be all the proof anyone would need, as it lists PTSD as one of my conditions that I'm being treated for. Can I use this paper in place of a card? Also, any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

You will not be able to use that as a card, unfortunately. You will have to register with the state as a patient and get a medical cannabis recommendation from a physician that is registered with the state to recommend cannabis. Sign up for our newsletter if you aren't and we will let everyone know when the registry is open for patients and doctors. We hope it will be ready by the end of the year.

The medical program in the state has not been implemented yet and there are no medical cannabis cards to get. When the new regulations and patient registry is open and ready we will let everyone know through our newsletter.
