Kentucky Governor Personally Awards State’s First Medical Marijuana Cards And Pushes Congress To End Gun Ban For Patients

The governor of Kentucky has personally awarded the state’s first medical marijuana patient cards—and he’s also calling on the Commonwealth’s congressional delegation to advance legislation protecting their constitutional right to own firearms.

During a briefing on Thursday, Gov. Andy Beshear (D) provided an update on the implementation of Kentucky’s medical cannabis law, ceremonially inviting a doctor and former teacher to the podium to accept the state’s first-ever patient cards. They were two of 2,200 people to initially receive the registration.

“We’ve taken some incredible strides to make medical cannabis a reality in Kentucky,” the governor said, noting the state’s progress in licensing marijuana businesses and certifying hundreds of doctors to issue cannabis recommendations to qualifying patients.
