Gov. Andy Beshear has announced executive orders regarding marijuana, including one that will help some Kentuckians legally possess and use it for medical purposes.Currently, medical marijuana is not legal in Kentucky, and therefore isn't sold there. The first executive action allows people with certain conditions to have a small amount of medical marijuana that is legally purchased in a state where it has been legalized.Here are the exact conditions of the order:The cannabis must be lawfully purchased in the U.S. from a state where the purchase is legal, and the receipt must be kept.The amount purchased and used must not exceed 8 ounces, which is the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony in Kentucky.Each person must also have a certification from a licensed health care provider showing the person has been diagnosed with at least one of 21 medical conditions.Here's a full list of the medical conditions that will qualify:Cancer, amytrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig맥스카지노�s disease, epilepsy, intractable seizures, Parkinson맥스카지노�s disease, Crohn맥스카지노�s disease, multiple sclerosis, sickle cell anemia, severe and chronic pain, post traumatic stress disorder, cachexia or wasting syndrome, neuropathies, severe arthritis, hepatitis C, fibromyalgia, intractable pain, muscular dystrophy, Huntington맥스카지노�s disease, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), glaucoma and a terminal illness.Read the full order here.

That includes four neighboring states: Ohio, Illinois, Missouri and West Virginia.Beshear said it will be important to know the specifics of other states' laws as well.The other executive order is about regulating the sale of Delta 8, which contains THC, but at a lower level. It's not considered a controlled substance and is sold legally in Kentucky. There are currently no checks on how it is sold. This order will make sure it's sold and packaged safely, Beshear said.He said he hopes the regulation structure can serve as a template for the full legalization of medical marijuana, should that happen.The orders go into effect on Jan. 1, 2023.Beshear said allowing certain Kentuckians to have access to medical marijuana will improve quality of life and lower abuse of more dangerous and addictive medications, such as opiates. The governor said that guidance law enforcement to determine who does and does not qualify is being created quickly.He also reinforced that he does not believe this order is a substitute for "much-need" legislation to fully legalize medical cannabis."This is not a red or blue issue. It is about our people and helping those who are in pain and suffering," he said.Beshear formed a Medical Cannabis Advisory Committee earlier this year to explore what actions he could legally take.Attorney General Daniel Cameron reacted to the order saying, "As always, (Beshear) seems to relish ruling by decree instead of by the law. Kentucky맥스카지노�s General Assembly is the sole and final policy-making body of this state and they must be allowed to have their say. We are reviewing these executive orders to determine next steps." Rep. Jason Nemes tweeted that while he "fervently" supports medical marijuana, "this unprecedented power grab cannot stand."
