"It's clear momentum is building for medical cannabis in Kentucky. I challenge our local officials in cities and counties across the Commonwealth to join in the effort to bring relief to thousands of Kentuckians who suffer daily-– their own citizens," Grimes said. "This affects people in every county and corner of the state. Local officials should step up for their constituents to support medical cannabis legislation in the General Assembly in 2018. We can't leave our people who are hurting behind."
Maysville and Mason County have recently taken official action in support of legalization legislation.
