LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WKYT) - A Louisville senator on Friday pre-filed the “Cannabis Freedom Act” to legalize and regulate the use of cannabis for people over 21 years old.
The Cannabis Freedom act, filed by Democrat Perry B. Clark, would repeal Kentucky’s total prohibition on marijuana cultivation, possession, and sale by adults who are 21 and older. Clark, in a news release, said the act would provide a "regulatory framework designed to promote public safety and responsible" cannabis consumption.
“It is abundantly clear to me that cannabis, while being much less harmful, should be treated the same as alcohol,” Clark said. “The Cannabis Freedom Act is an outline on how to tax and regulate the sale of marijuana to adults 21 and older in Kentucky. It is time for this discussion in our Commonwealth.”
