Kentucky House of Representatives votes in favor of medical marijuana

On Thursday, Kentucky’s House of Representatives voted in favor, with 65 yeas to 30 nays, on a bill that would legalize medical cannabis for patients in the state. This marks the first time a bill to legalize medical cannabis has received a full house vote in Kentucky. The bill, House Bill 136, will now proceed to the Senate for consideration. If enacted, Kentucky would join the 33 states that have passed medical cannabis laws.
