The law is moving
Cannabis law changes by legislative session and ballot measure — this page reflects Kentucky's program status as we track it today, and the wire below updates as the state acts. Sales and license data live on the Kentucky market page.
This is program-status reporting, not legal advice. Possession limits, patient qualification and purchase rules are set by state law and change — verify specifics with Kentucky's cannabis regulator before acting.
