NatureMed will open two dispensaries in Kentucky, one in Murray and the other in Paducah.
PADUCAH — The first medical cannabis dispensary in the West Kentucky region opened this week in Paducah, the industry trade association announced Thursday, following the state’s approval of the treatment method in recent years.
NatureMed Cannabis Dispensary is open for business in Paducah, marking the 11th medical cannabis dispensary to open in Kentucky since sales began for the state’s medical cannabis program, which launched in January, according to a Kentucky Cannabis Industry Alliance news release.
NatureMed aims to offer “patient-centered care, knowledgeable staff, and compliant operations,” according to the association.
“Opening our doors in Paducah is a moment we’ve worked toward for a long time, and we couldn’t be more proud to finally serve patients here in Western Kentucky,” Daniel Woodward, CEO of NatureMed, said in the release. “This community has waited patiently for access to legal, regulated medical cannabis, and we take that responsibility seriously. Our team is trained, our shelves are stocked, and we are ready to help patients find relief.”
The Kentucky Office of Medical Cannabis’ West Kentucky region includes McCracken, Calloway, Graves, Marshall, Livingston and surrounding counties, with 817 registered medical cannabis patients already on record in the region as of this month, the association stated.
The Office of Medical Cannabis has approved conditions including cancer, chronic pain, chronic nausea or cyclical vomiting syndrome, epilepsy and seizure disorders, multiple sclerosis, muscle spasticity and post-traumatic stress disorder as eligible for treatment with medical cannabis, according to its website.
Prospective patients who have not yet obtained a medical cannabis registry card may visit the Kentucky Office of Medical Cannabis online.
Kentucky awarded business licenses to medical cannabis businesses in late 2024, with the Office of Medical Cannabis accepting applications for medical cannabis cards from patients starting at the beginning of last year.
NatureMed Cannabis Dispensary is located at 435 Jordan Drive in Paducah.
