Good Morning everybody :) I have been waiting to get the complete wording for the KY house Medical Marijuana bill before posting this. But I still havent been able to get the complete wording of the bill yet. But here is a summery of the House Medical Marijuana bill. This is the KY medical Marijuana bill that has the best chance of passing. Just read the summery, but just know additional restrictions will be added before any passage is done. You want to know the kicker? I have reason to believe, that once Medical is passed in KY. If we dont have decriminalization in place, future Cannabis reform for KY will be fought by those that will be bringing in the big bucks from the Medical. Why do I have reason to believe that you may ask. Because I was offered to be included in the profits, which I declined. Be careful who, and what you support. I urge you to support Decriminalization of Cannabis in KY, before its too late. just sayin. The more likely to pass KY Medical Marijuana bills summery follows. I will post the entire wording, as soon as the State run site allows it. I wonder why the state run site wont let me have the details of this Medical Marijuana bill. Think it might be the bait, and switch?!?.::::: Include a noncodified section permitting this Act to be cited as the Gatewood Galbraith Medical Cannabis Act; create new sections of KRS Chapter 218A to define terms; require the Department for Public Health operate a medical cannabis program; require prospective patients to possess a diagnosis from a physician, and possess a registry identification card issued by the department; require the department to publish an annual list of varieties of cannabis that contain a low level of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC); require prioritization of low-THC-containing varieties of cannabis by the department; grant priority access to children and individuals with medication-resistant seizures to low THC cannabis; require patients under 18 to receive cannabis with a low-THC content; state guidelines for registry identification cards; exempt patients that possess a card and an amount of cannabis that does not exceed a sixty day supply from prosecution or penalty; protect a physician from prosecution, penalty, or disciplinary action solely for providing a medical order; protect dispensaries and dispensary employees when acting pursuant to this Act; require individuals that cease to be patients to dispose of cannabis; state that any local or statewide smoking ban shall ban the use of any medical cannabis unless explicitly permitted by prominent signage; allow use of cannabis on privately owned real property only with written permission of the property owner or tenant in possession of the property; prohibit unauthorized conduct, including undertaking tasks under the influence of cannabis; specify additional areas where cannabis may not be possessed or used; prohibit operation of motoer vehicles, boats, or aircraft while under the influence of cannabis; clarify other protections for health insurance providers, property owners, employers, and jails or penal institutions; reuqire the DPH to operate or license the operation of at least one dispensary in each area development district; grant the DPH authoirty to charge application and annual fees; authorize fines for cardholders carrying cannabis while not in possession of his or her registry card; require revocation of cardholder status to any cardholder that sells cannabis to another person that is not a patient; require DPH to promulgate administrative regulations to govern the treatment of drug addiction via use of medical cannabis; establish a Task Force on Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies for Medical Cannabis to advise the DPH in implementing the Act; require the Board of Medical Licensure to issue certificates to physicians that elect to prescribe medical cannabis; state requirements for good standing for recommending physicians; require the board to establish standards for generating orders for medical cannabis; amend KRS 218A.202 to allow for the monitoring of cannabis recommended pursuant to this Act
