medical marijuana

A Kansas Senate committee has tabled debate on a bill that would implement a medical marijuana program in 2025. That means the legislation is unlikely to advance before state lawmakers finish their work in early April, leaving advocates and patients upset.

The road to even partial legalization of marijuana has been a long and rocky one. Last session, the Kansas House approved a medical marijuana bill, while a Senate proposal died in committee.

Since Oklahomans passed medical marijuana in 2018, 8,630 growers have opened in the state, serving nearly 10% of the state’s population with medical marijuana licenses. The rapid expansion is stressing rural electric and water infrastructure.

Lawmakers also increased the allowable level of THC, the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis. But not by much.
