Louisville’s First Medical Marijuana Dispensary Set to Open This Weekend
Kentucky Alternative Care, the state’s first medical marijuana dispensary in Louisville, is preparing to open its doors this Saturday in the Highlands neighborhood. The dispensary has received approval from the Kentucky Office of Medical Cannabis and will provide registered patients with access to state-compliant, lab-tested medical cannabis.
Founders Dr. Su Kang and Dustin Stanley aim to create a patient-guided model to help Kentuckians navigate the state’s medical cannabis program. According to Kang, the goal is to provide “safe, effective, and premium medical cannabis in an environment patients can trust.”
Jefferson County Clerk David Yates, a former Democratic state senator, congratulated the dispensary on its grand opening. Yates was instrumental in championing the legislation that made medical marijuana legal in Kentucky and expressed pride in seeing the program come to fruition.
The dispensary will offer a range of products and services, including state-compliant medical cannabis, lab testing, and patient guidance. The grand opening will take place on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at 2401-B Bardstown Road.
It’s worth noting that Kentucky’s first dispensary opened late last year, but ran out of product within the first week due to a limited supply. The new dispensary aims to address this issue by providing a steady supply of medical cannabis to registered patients.
