Kentucky’s First Medical Cannabis Dispensary Opens for Business

Kentucky’s first licensed dispensary is officially open to medical cannabis patients who are registered under the state program, WBKO reports.

The Post Dispensary in Beaver Dam, Kentucky, opened for business on Saturday. Patients traveled from around the state to see the opening and be among the shop’s first customers.

Products available to patients were produced by Farmtucky, which has become the state’s first licensed cultivator to bring product to market.

“It’s a milestone for the citizens of the Commonwealth and it’s really a healthy milestone. For the first time ever, the citizens have access to the medicine that they so could use.” — Post Dispensary owner Trip Hoffman, via WBKO

There are currently over 40 licensed medical cannabis retailers in the state.

“Our priority is ensuring Kentuckians suffering with serious medical conditions can have safe access to medical cannabis, as soon as possible, to get the relief they need,” Gov. Beshear said in a press release last week.
