Kentucky hemp grower has doubts about new medical marijuana law

Beginning in 2025, medical marijuana can be legally sold, grown and consumed in Kentucky, the result of a law passed by the General Assembly this year. Last week, Governor Beshear announced a new website that provides updates on the plan. Bill Polyniak, the co-owner of the Kentucky Cannabis Company and its Bluegrass Hemp Oil retail stores, said he’s concerned about the lack of details for would-be growers.

“They're good at giving talking points, like a marketing like a brochure, but when you get to the meat and potatoes of it, we just don't -- as you know, we've got a decade here cultivating medical products in Kentucky, and we just don't see how they're going to do it.”
