Kentucky Marijuana Employer Guidelines
“Recreational vs. personal” use of marijuana: We recognize that a majority of the country uses the term “recreational use” when referring to states that have legalized possession and use of limited amounts of marijuana for those over 21.Kentucky personal and medical use of marijuana.
Medical Use: On April 10, 2014 Governor Beshear signed into law SB 124 redefining the term “marijuana” under the state’s criminal code, to exclude “the substance cannabidiol when transferred, dispensed, or administered pursuant to the written order of a physician practicing at a hospital or associated clinic affiliated with a Kentucky public university having a college or school of medicine."
Personal Use: This state does not currently have legislation permitting personal use of marijuana.
