First round of Medical Cannabis Dispensary Licenses announced Frankfort, KY - On November 25, 2024, Gov. Andy Beshear announced the results of the commonwealth's first of two license lotteries for medical cannabis dispensaries. During the event, held at the Kentucky Lottery Corporation in Louisville, 36 applicants were selected to receive medical cannabis dispensary licenses through a random number generator. The only licensee announced in the 7-county area was JM Medicinals LLC, in Russell Springs. Three licensees were announced in Bowling Green, four in Hardin County, and two in Somerset, KY. Russell Springs passed an ordinance allowing the sale of medical cannabis in July of 2024. The Adair County Fiscal Court and Columbia City Council passed ordinances not to allow the sale of medical cannabis, but Cumberland County, Green County, Metcalfe County, and Taylor County all had a majority vote to allow the sale of medical cannabis on ballot issues in the 2024 Kentucky general election. Statewide options can be viewed at kymedcan.ky.gov. "Team Kentucky has worked hard to ensure that all medical cannabis business applicants have an equal and fair chance to become a part of this emerging industry," said Gov. Beshear. "Today's dispensary announcement moves us one step closer to ensuring Kentuckians with serious medical conditions have access to the safe, affordable medicine they need."
