Ensuring Kentuckians have safe, affordable access to medical cannabis

We're dedicated to creating a safe, legal, and thriving medical cannabis industry in Kentucky. Because Kentuckians suffering from serious medical conditions should have safe, affordable access to medical cannabis.

About us

From seed to sale, we provide the resources, advocacy, and connections you need to be a critical part of Kentucky's medical cannabis industry.

Medical cannabis is a healthcare necessity for Kentuckians with cancer, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other serious conditions. Our program prioritizes patient safety, access, and affordability through our commitment to evidence-based practices, transparency, outreach, and education.

We are coming together to develop a prosperous medical cannabis industry in the Commonwealth that will play a vital role in helping Kentuckians who need it most.
