Kentucky recently added three new medical marijuana cultivators and one new dispensary, bringing the total of operational licensed medical marijuana businesses up to 19, Gov. Andy Beshear announced at a March 5 news conference.
The newly approved cultivators include L&O Legacies in Jessamine County; Best State in Lincoln County; and Slaughter Branch in Hopkins County. And on Feb. 20, Speakeasy Dispensary in Hopkins County opened its doors to serve patients.
Beshear said eight cultivators, two safety compliance facilities, one processor and eight dispensaries are approved to operate in the commonwealth.
“Three additional licensees are currently in the inspection process, and we expect the momentum to continue in the coming weeks, as more businesses prepare to come online,” he said.
So far, more than 19,700 Kentuckians have been approved for medical cannabis cards in Kentucky, an increase of more than 2,000 since last month, and 519 practitioners are registered to issue certifications, according to Beshear.
