Here at Kentucky NORML we are happy to see the steps taken to ensure that their patients data is secure. We take patient privacy very seriously.

“It takes a while to get an industry from the ground up,” Bratcher explained. “A lot of places have had to break ground and build from the ground up rather than retrofit buildings. So, it’s been expected that it would take kind of this long to get things going.”

Kentucky NORML understands that navigating the requirements can sometimes feel overwhelming, and that's exactly why we're bringing these Patient Registration fairs to you.

As more states adopt medical cannabis programs to provide relief for patients, an alarming and unconstitutional trend continues to threaten the rights of those seeking therapeutic cannabis treatments: the denial of their 2nd Amendment rights.
