This bill proposes a change to Kentucky's state 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 cannabis plants for personal use. It would also give the state legislature authority to regulate how cannabis is produced, processed, and sold more broadly. If approved by the legislature, the proposed amendment would go before Kentucky voters as a ballot question. Who it may affect: adults 21 and older, cannabis businesses, county clerks, and Kentucky voters who would decide on the constitutional amendment.
