With dispensaries in Ohio now selling recreational marijuana, many residents in neighboring Kentucky who use cannabis may be thinking about making a trip across the Ohio River, activists say. "As Ohio gets rec, people are going to be like, 'OK, shorter trip. I don't have to go to Michigan, don't have to go to Illinois,'" said Matthew Bratcher, executive director of the Kentucky Chapter of National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, referring to the state's previous two closest neighbors with legal recreational marijuana.

Recreational marijuana sales began in Ohio on Tuesday, so what does this mean for Kentucky? Will Kentuckians drive more than an hour north to purchase and or consume product and bring it back with them back into the Commonwealth even though it’s illegal in Kentucky? We have several perspectives on this issue, from the Fayette County attorney to a man who says he went to jail for two days and spent a thousand dollars in court costs for simple possession of marijuana.
