The governor of Kentucky has announced the launch of a new government website for people to track the upcoming implementation of the state’s medical marijuana program, as well as the creation of a workgroup that will study cannabis policy developments in the state and across the country.
Gov. Andy Beshear (D), who signed a medical marijuana legalization bill into law in March, held a press conference on Thursday to give an update on a series of programs and initiatives, including the status of the state’s cannabis-related work.
As prospective medical marijuana patients in the state await the formal launch of the program in 2025, the governor said that people who are interested in the new law can visit kymedcan.ky.gov to follow along with the implementation process.
Today, Governor Beshear announced the Medical Cannabis Program.
