New Legislation Aims To ‘End The Prohibition On Cannabis In Kentucky,’ Senator Says
“This would be a boon for our economy and farmers alike”
Lawmakers in Kentucky’s House and Senate chambers have filed legislation to legalize marijuana for both medical and recreational use.
Rep. Rachel Roberts (D-67) and Senators Morgan McGarvey (D-19) and David Yates (D-37) filed identical legislation Thursday titled L.E.T.T.’s Grow. According to a press release from the Kentucky House of Representatives, the acronym stands for legalizing sales, expunging crimes, treating those who “deserve to benefit” from the medicinal properties provided by cannabis and taxing sales for people who want to buy cannabis for “adult use.”
“This would be a boon for our economy and farmers alike, plus give state and local governments a major new source of revenue,” said Roberts.
McGarvey said the legalization of marijuana is an area where Kentucky is falling behind as 37 states have already legalized cannabis for medical use.
