Kentucky’s Medical Cannabis Milestone | Louisville News

Governor Andy Beshear celebrated the launch of Holler Cannabis Company in Lexington, marking a major milestone in Kentucky’s medical cannabis program — now fully operational with 39 businesses statewide. Despite federal prohibition, Kentucky’s tightly regulated system is proving its value: over 24,000 patients now hold cards, overdose deaths have dropped four years in a row, and new qualifying illnesses make treatment more accessible. Beshear admitted the rollout could’ve been faster but praised its safety-first approach, while Holler — partially owned by local council member Hil Boone — joins eleven cultivators helping to reshape how Kentuckians access relief.
