FRANKFORT, Ky. (WTVF) — The Kentucky House passed HB 136 on medical marijuana, which would allow doctors to prescribe marijuana to patients.
On Wednesday, the bill was passed in a 65-30 vote. It now goes to the Senate.
Under the bill, a regulatory board would determine what conditions would qualify for doctors to prescribe marijuana to patients.
The board would consist of eight doctors, four public advocates and a pharmacist. The bill also would set up a regulatory process allowing at least 25 dispensaries statewide to fill doctors’ prescriptions for medical marijuana.
