The Kentucky Senate has proposed setting conditions to unlock funding for the state’s medical cannabis program. The program is scheduled to take effect at the start of 2025. The two sentences inserted by senators came up for discussion Monday as House and Senate leaders met to start hammering out a final version of the state’s next two-year budget.
FILE - The Kentucky Capitol is seen, Jan. 14, 2020, in Frankfort, Ky. Language put in the main budget bill by the Kentucky Senate would set conditions to unlock funding to oversee the state’s medical cannabis program, which scheduled to take effect at the start of 2025. FILE - Republican State Sen. Chris McDaniel, a candidate in the party’s lieutenant governor primary, speaks with a reporter after voting at his Ellisville, Miss., precinct, Tuesday, Aug. 8, 2023.
The Senate’s version states that no funds for the Office of Medical Cannabis would become available without peer reviewed, published research showing “conclusive evidence as to the efficacy of medical cannabis for the persistent reduction of symptoms of diseases and conditions.” “While we’re not stripping the funding, we’re waiting on data that tells us that this is effective,” said McDaniel, chairman of the Senate Appropriations and Revenue Committee. “And so we’re just putting a quick pause on that to make sure that we have the appropriate information.”Vice President Harris and rapper Fat Joe team up for discussion on easing marijuana penaltiesThe Senate budget included — with the strings attached — about $10.
McDaniel said the Senate language shouldn’t be seen as an obstacle for implementing the state’s medical marijuana program.
