About Medical Marijuana in Kentucky

In March 2023, Gov. Andy Beshear signed Senate Bill 47 into law, making Kentucky the 38th state to approve medical marijuana use.

SB 47 establishes a medicinal cannabis program by allowing patients to access medical cannabis if their practitioner deems they could benefit from the use. The legislation institutes a governing body to decide daily THC limits and methods of use. Patients will be allowed to have a 30-day supply of their medication at their residence and a 10-day supply on their person.

The program officially goes into effect in January 2025, giving ample time for the Cabinet for Health and Family Services to draft oversight regulations for the program.

Local governments are currently in the process of licensing medical cannabis dispensaries, and Kentuckians can expect these dispensaries to start cropping up over the next two years when the program launches.

Kentucky's medical cannabis program will go into effect on January 1, 2025. Recreational cannabis remains illegal.

Medical weed dispensaries are set to open in Kentucky in 2025.

Delta-8 hemp products are legal in Kentucky, but they must contain less than 0.3% THC.
