What Products Can You Buy?
Licensed Kentucky dispensaries offer a variety of products that meet the state's medical marijuana regulations. Every product sold through a licensed dispensary is tested for quality and safety before reaching patients.
Patients will find:
Marijuana flower, intended for vaporization
Vape products (available only for patients age 21 and older)
These are the medical marijuana products currently available under Kentucky's medical marijuana program. As additional cultivators and processors begin operating and expand their product offerings, patients may also see tinctures, oils, and other edible products become available at licensed dispensaries. Product availability can vary between locations based on inventory, so patients may not find every legally permitted product at every dispensary. Checking your dispensary’s online menu or calling before visiting can help you learn what products are currently in stock.
How to Get a Kentucky Medical Marijuana Card
If you haven't gotten your marijuana card yet, our team at Kentucky Marijuana Card is here to help every step of the way.
Our licensed practitioners provide comprehensive evaluations to determine whether you qualify for medical marijuana under Kentucky law. New patient appointments are conducted in person at one of our office locations or at our patient drives. During your appointment, your practitioner will review your medical history, discuss your symptoms, answer your questions, and determine whether medical marijuana is an appropriate treatment option.
Some of the most common qualifying conditions in Kentucky include cancer, chronic pain, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, chronic nausea, and PTSD. If you're unsure whether you qualify, our practitioners are happy to discuss your medical history and symptoms during your appointment. Even if your condition isn't listed above, we encourage you to call us at (833) 781-6360 or schedule an evaluation so we can help determine whether medical marijuana may be right for you.
If you're approved, our team will help guide you through the state registration process during your appointment so you can complete your application correctly. After your application is submitted, the state can take up to 30 days to review and approve your registration. Once the state makes a decision, you will receive an email letting you know whether your application was approved, along with instructions on how to access your medical marijuana card.
After receiving your approval, you can visit a licensed Kentucky dispensary with your active card. Your card can be accessed digitally through the state's system or printed and brought with you. When visiting a dispensary, be sure to bring your medical marijuana card and a valid government-issued photo ID.
After your initial in-person visit, Kentucky Marijuana Card offers telemedicine renewal appointments exclusively for our existing patients. Medical marijuana certifications in Kentucky must be renewed annually, and when it's time to renew, established patients can conveniently complete their appointment from the comfort of their home to help maintain uninterrupted access to medical marijuana.
Kentucky's Program Is Still Growing
Kentucky's dispensary locations continue to expand, giving registered patients more convenient options for purchasing medical marijuana throughout the state. As additional licensed dispensaries open, patients will have shorter travel times and easier access to marijuana products.
Before visiting a dispensary, make sure you have an active medical marijuana card and a valid government-issued photo ID. Patients can bring either a digital version of their card or a printed copy when visiting a licensed dispensary.
As Kentucky's program continues to develop, staying updated on new dispensary openings can help patients find the most convenient location for their needs.
