This bill proposes a change to the Kentucky Constitution that would guarantee adults 21 and older the right to possess, use, buy, or sell up to one ounce of cannabis and 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 go before Kentucky voters as a ballot question rather than becoming law on its own. Who it may affect: Kentucky adults 21 and older, cannabis businesses, and voters statewide who would decide the ballot measure.
