Kentucky Cities and Counties Vote on Medical Marijuana
In a recent election, several cities and counties in Kentucky voted on whether to allow medical marijuana businesses to operate in their areas. The Kentucky General Assembly passed a bill legalizing medical marijuana in 2023, with the law set to take effect on January 1, 2025. According to the Kentucky Office of Medical Cannabis, cities and counties are automatically opted in to allow cannabis businesses, but local governments must enact ordinances to adopt regulations.
As of Wednesday morning, no city or county ballot measure had failed. The following is a list of Kentucky counties and cities that voted in favor of medical marijuana:
