Governor Beshear Rescinds Out-of-State Medical Cannabis Order: Local Access Now Required at Kentucky Dispensaries
The First Fully Approved Medical Cannabis Dispensary in Kentucky
Effective July 1, 2026, Kentucky patients must buy medical cannabis only from licensed in-state dispensaries like The Post Dispensary.
BEAVER DAM, KY, UNITED STATES, June 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Post Dispensary, Kentucky’s first fully licensed and operating medical cannabis dispensary, announces important updates for patients following Governor Andy Beshear’s recent decision to rescind the executive order permitting out-of-state medical cannabis access. Beginning July 1, 2026, all Kentucky medical cannabis patients will be required to purchase their medical cannabis products exclusively from licensed dispensaries located within the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
This policy shift emphasizes the importance of using regulated, in-state sources for medical marijuana. Effective July 1, it is now illegal for patients or individuals to transport or possess cannabis purchased from out-of-state programs, such as those in Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, or other states, when crossing into Kentucky. Those who violate this regulation may face legal penalties under Kentucky state law.
