## Resource

Kentucky’s medical cannabis cardholders can no longer buy weed out of state—starting July 1, the state’s new rules lock purchases within Kentucky’s borders. Governor Beshear’s plan was always to phase this out once the local industry took off, and it’s happening fast: 26,000 active cardholders and 17 licensed dispensaries are already serving the state. Even if Ohio or Illinois dispensaries are closer or cheaper, bringing those products back into Kentucky is now illegal. All legal sales must happen in-state, with products marked by a special Commonwealth symbol to help law enforcement enforce the rules. Recreational cannabis remains banned, and marijuana is still federally illegal.
