FRANKFORT, Ky. — Kentucky will offer an online directory to help connect patients with medical providers as it prepares for the start of its medical cannabis program in 2025, Gov. Andy Beshear said Thursday.
The online directory will launch on Dec. 1, he said, so patients can find practitioners nearest to them. As more medical providers gain authorization to participate in the program, they will be added to the portal. The governor’s office said the directory will be available at kymedcan.ky.gov. The Democratic governor was a leading supporter of legalizing medical marijuana in Kentucky, and his administration has been responsible for setting up the multitiered system.
