Lexington Director of Planning Jim Duncan says the Kentucky General Assembly may accelerate the legalization of medical marijuana, which is presently scheduled to take effect at the beginning of next year.
“We feel that we need to go ahead and get our own regulations in place before any licenses are issued by the state for medicinal cannabis. So what we have done, the Planning Commission has initiated an update to the zoning ordinance – a zoning ordinance text amendment – that will address all of the cannabis business types.”
