On April 18th, 2024 the Kentucky Medical Cannabis Program, the regulatory body overseeing licensing and regulation of Kentucky's nascent medical cannabis program, filed 2 emergency regulations defining the program's license application process.

Governor Andy Beshear signed the emergency regulations into effect immediately to expedite the roll out of Kentucky's medical cannabis program.

Applications will open on July 1, 2024. For more information visit the program's website.
