Kentucky’s Medical Marijuana Program Hits New ‘Milestone’ With 30,000+ Cardholders

Kentucky’s lieutenant governor announced on Thursday that the state’s medical marijuana program has hit “another milestone” by surpassing more than 30,000 registered cardholders—adding that regulators are now “more than halfway finished in our buildout of approved businesses.”

“Those are 30,000 Kentuckians with access to safe relief and that is close to home,” Lt. Gov. Jacqueline Coleman (D) said. “These are our neighbors that are suffering from conditions like cancer, PTSD and multiple sclerosis.”

“Our administration worked hard to bring medical cannabis to Kentucky, and our hard work paid off,” she said, noting that there are now more than 500 medical practitioners who are approved to recommend marijuana to patients.

“So we expect the number of cardholders to keep growing,” the lieutenant governor said. “We’ve been moving forward on every step of the process, and we’ve continued to make progress to ensure that those eligible have access.”
