The results of the second Team Kentucky Medical Cannabis Dispensary License Lottery were announced at the Kentucky Lottery Corporation’s office Monday.
Following the initial draw on November 26, Monday’s draw awarded four licenses each to the Kentuckiana and Bluegrass regions. Excluded from those draws were Jefferson and Fayette counties, for which two licenses each were awarded.
The businesses that submitted for the lottery were required to submit their application and pay required fees ahead of the random drawing that was conducted by the lottery corporation.
“In developing our lottery process, we considered the best practices used in other states and determined this was the most fair and transparent way to build this new exciting industry in the Commonwealth, and it should be noted that other states are also adopting this approach,” said Kentucky Office of Medical Cannabis Executive Director Sam Flynn. “Because our program is rooted in patient access, it is critical that our medical cannabis business licensing framework ensures that this new industry is stable and sustainable, with an emphasis on small business, and provides product growth to meet cardholder demand.”
Three applicants from Shepherdsville were selected in the Kentuckiana region’s draw. Those businesses are DNP-DH KY LLC, KY Pristine Vistas LLC, and Pinnacle Path LLC.
Kentuckians may apply for medical cannabis cards beginning January 1. Visit kymedcan.ky.gov for more information.
