This bill proposes a change to the Kentucky Constitution that would give adults 21 and older the right to possess, use, buy, or sell up to one ounce of cannabis and to grow up to five plants for personal use. It would also give the state legislature authority over how cannabis is produced, processed, and sold more broadly. Because it is a constitutional amendment, it would need to be approved by voters on the ballot before taking effect. Who it may affect: adults 21 and older, state lawmakers, and Kentucky voters who would decide whether to ratify the amendment.
