Kentucky will soon join 37 other states that allow cannabis to be prescribed for medical use.
Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear signed a medical cannabis bill Friday morning, the day after the measure passed out of the Republican-led legislature.
Senate Bill 47 allows Kentuckians with conditions like cancer, chronic pain, PTSD, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy and chronic nausea to qualify for medical cannabis. It also leaves the door open for the University of Kentucky’s Cannabis Research Center to identify other qualifying conditions.
The policy doesn’t go into effect until 2025, and Kentuckians won’t be allowed to smoke cannabis. Vaping, edibles and other cannabis products like topical ointments will be allowed.
During a press conference Friday, Beshear said people with serious medical conditions should be able to use the drug.
