Beshear order adds more qualifying conditions to Kentucky Medical Cannabis Program
Additional conditions have been added to the list of recognized conditions for the Kentucky Medical Cannabis Program.
Governor Andy Beshear on Tuesday signed an executive order “directing Team Kentucky’s Office of Medical Cannabis to issue an emergency regulation further clarifying qualifying conditions for medical cannabis in Kentucky law.” Included in the order are sickle cell anemia, ALS, Crohn’s disease, Parkinson’s, terminal illnesses, and more.
According to a release from the Governor’s Office, Beshear says the law is meant to provide “a safe alternative form of pain relief for Kentuckians suffering” so the executive order makes the law more clear to help more Kentuckians have access to medical cannabis as an alternative to opioids. Beshear noted that the added conditions have always been within the scope of the Medical Cannabis Program’s six permissible diagnoses, but the order provides patients and medical providers clear confirmation.
32 medical cannabis businesses are up and running in Kentucky, including Green Leaf Dispensary which opened in Elizabethtown on June 1. More than 500 medical cannabis practitioners have been registered under the program, and more than 23,700 Kentuckians have been approved for medical cannabis cards.
