Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment that, if approved by voters, would give Kentuckians 21 and older the right to possess and use up to one ounce of cannabis and grow up to five plants for personal use. It would also give the state legislature authority to regulate the broader production and sale of cannabis products. Because it is a proposed constitutional amendment, it would need to appear on the ballot and be approved by Kentucky voters before taking effect. Who it may affect: adults 21 and older, cannabis businesses, county clerks, and local governments.
