LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The executive order signed by Gov. Andy Beshear allowing Kentuckians to use legally purchase medical marijuana went into effect on Sunday.
Any Kentuckian certified to buy marijuana for medical purposes, from a state where it’s already legal, will be pardoned from any state prosecution for possession. That possession can be no more than 8 ounces.
“I couldn’t sit and let another veteran end their life. I couldn’t sit and watch another person fall into addiction with opioids,” Beshear said. “We had to do something to provide what relief we can and I hope also push the General Assembly to do in their job.”
The order only requires qualified Kentuckians to keep a receipt.
Kentucky Moms for Medical Cannabis co-founder Julie Cantwell says her son Preston has drug-resistant epilepsy, and he’s been using medical marijuana from out of state for three years.
