Kentucky's medical cannabis program continues to grow, with the Gov. Andy Beshear announcing that 19 licensed medical cannabis businesses are now operational across the commonwealth.
Newly approved cultivators include L&O Legacies in Jessamine County, Best State in Lincoln County, and Slaughter Branch in Hopkins County, expanding in-state production capacity to meet rising patient demand.
In total, Kentucky has approved eight cultivators, two safety compliance facilities, one processor, and eight dispensaries to operate. Those numbers are expected to increase in the coming weeks, as three additional licensees are scheduled for inspection this month.
More than 19,726 Kentuckians have now been approved for medical cannabis cards. It's an increase of over 2,000 approved applications since last month, as more residents learn about the program and connect to certified providers. 519 practitioners are registered to issue medical cannabis certifications to eligible patients across the state.
