Some Ky. communities opt-out of Kentucky’s medical cannabis program
FRANKFORT, Ky. (WKYT) – In March 2023, Gov. Andy Beshear signed Senate Bill 47, which legalizes medical cannabis in Kentucky starting January 1, 2025.
In April, he set up regulations to establish processes and procedures for medical cannabis businesses and registered cardholders.
The governor’s office says the intent of the program is to provide safe and affordable access to medical cannabis.
“I fully expect there to be a whole lot more come out because there’s been a lot of interest in this emerging market from within and from out,” said Matthew Bratcher, executive director of Kentucky NORML.
Kentucky’s Office of Medical Cannabis says they have received 196 total applications as of August 21, including 138 dispensaries, 26 tier I cultivators and 17 processors.
Bratcher said there could be even more applicants before the August 31 deadline.
Maps that details which counties and cities have currently opted in/out of the program, along with which counties and cities will have a ballot resolution this Nov. on the topic, can be found on the Team Kentucky Office of Medical Cannabis website.

The Brooklyn Nets have developed their teams through a number of strategies over the decades, and their front office has put together considerable success through the NBA draft. Many of the franchise’s best players have joined the Nets either by being selected directly in the annual draft or through trades made on that day.
Moreover, it is not only the star players who have been acquired by the Nets through the draft. Several prominent alumni have been selected by the team each offseason during this annual event, with certain colleges being more prominently represented than others. An analysis of the players from different schools reveals that both prestigious programs and smaller institutions have contributed top talent to the Nets’ roster over the years.
So without further ado, let’s take a look at every player who has been drafted by the Nets out of Kentucky State University.
