About cannabis in Kentucky

Kentucky has embarked on a new era with the legalization of medical cannabis, effective January 1, 2025, following the passage of Senate Bill 47 (SB 47). This program allows qualifying patients with conditions such as cancer, chronic pain, epilepsy, PTSD, and more to access medical cannabis legally. The state strictly regulates product safety, with smoking prohibited but vaping, tinctures, and edibles allowed. Patients can possess up to a 30-day supply, all products must be grown and processed in Kentucky, and the rollout includes licensing cultivators, processors, and dispensaries statewide. This carefully controlled system is designed to offer safe relief for patients while addressing public health concerns. Ongoing expansions and regulatory adjustments are expected as the program matures, providing a responsible framework for medical cannabis in Kentucky.

Kentucky Caregiver Registry

The Kentucky Caregiver Registry is an essential part of the state's medical cannabis program launched in 2025 under Senate Bill 47. Caregivers, typically family members or legal guardians, assist patients who are minors or unable to self-administer medical cannabis. To participate, caregivers must be at least 21 years old and register through the Patient and Caregiver Registry Portal. They receive registry ID cards, enabling them to purchase and administer medical cannabis on behalf of the patient. The program emphasizes patient safety, ensuring caregivers undergo appropriate vetting and comply with strict regulations. This supportive system helps provide access and care for patients requiring assistance in Kentucky’s medical marijuana framework.
