Kentucky Lawmakers to Hold Public Hearings on Medical Marijuana

July 22nd

LOUISVILLE, KY — Kentucky Senator Perry Clark plans to pre-file a bill for the 2014 legislative session to legalize medical marijuana in the state, and members of the Health and Welfare committee will hold a public hearing on the measure August 21.

The bill is expected to be formally introduced in January when the full legislature reconvenes for the 60-day 2014 legislative session.

Senator Clark (D-Louisville) filed similar legislation in 2012 and 2013,  but the bills failed died in committees without ever receiving a hearing.

The bills were both titled the “Gatewood Galbraith Memorial Medical Marijuana Act,” named after the late marijuana advocate Gatewood Galbraith.

The two previous bills  would have reclassify cannabis as a Schedule II substance available for medical treatment under a doctor’s direction, and would have allowed patients to possess up to 5 ounces of marijuana or cultivate up to five plants for their own medicinal use.

The bills also stipulated that any plants a patient is growing can not be taxed under state law.
