Speakeasy Dispensary just announced that they are opening their medical marijuana dispensary in Lexington on January 15th. This opening marks the highly anticipated start of marijuana access for patients in Central Kentucky and the continued progress as the state’s program moves from planning to real-world access.


Below is a breakdown of everything patients should know before the dispensary’s opening day.


Speakeasy Dispensary Opening in Lexington

Speakeasy Dispensary is opening in Lexington on January 15, 2026. This location will serve registered marijuana patients and operate under Kentucky’s medical marijuana rules.


Opening details

  • Date: January 15, 2026

  • Time: 10:00 a.m.

  • Location: 1849 Alysheba Way, Lexington, KY 40509


Regular Store Hours

  • Sunday – Thursday: 10 a.m. – 8 p.m.

  • Friday – Saturday: 8 a.m. – 8 p.m.


A private ribbon-cutting event is taking place on January 14 for invited guests and local officials. Patient access and sales will begin the following day.


The dispensary was designed to create a comfortable and educational environment for medical marijuana patients and caregivers. Staff will be available to explain products, answer questions, and help patients understand how to shop within Kentucky’s program.


What Patients Should Expect When Speakeasy Opens

As Kentucky’s medical marijuana program continues to roll out, dispensaries will operate under clear state guidelines.


Patients should expect:

  • Access limited to active Kentucky medical marijuana cardholders

  • A valid photo ID and an active marijuana card required at check-in


High demand is expected during the early weeks, but inventory levels should improve as more product becomes available from licensed Kentucky growers and processors.


Only Kentucky residents with an active medical marijuana card will be permitted to enter licensed dispensaries and purchase marijuana products. Patients must complete the state application process, which can take up to 30 days for approval. Your card must be active and valid before you can access any dispensary.


Why This Dispensary Opening Matters

Speakeasy Dispensary's opening in Lexington is important for several reasons. As the second medical marijuana dispensary to open in Kentucky, it marks another step in the state’s rollout and helps expand patient access as the program develops.


This opening is another sign that Kentucky’s medical marijuana program is moving forward and expanding access in different regions of the state.


Update on The Post Dispensary

Before Speakeasy’s opening, The Post Dispensary became the first medical marijuana dispensary to open in Kentucky. Located in Beaver Dam, it began serving patients in December 2025.


The Post experienced extremely high demand and sold out of its initial inventory in a short period of time. After selling out, the dispensary temporarily closed while waiting for additional product from licensed Kentucky facilities. Reopening is expected once new inventory is delivered, sometime towards the end of January.


This early sell-out shows how strong patient demand is statewide and why the opening of additional dispensaries, like Speakeasy, is needed.


Final Takeaway

Speakeasy Dispensary is officially opening in Lexington, giving Kentucky medical marijuana patients an important access point. While early inventory may be limited, this opening represents real progress for patients who have waited years for legal, regulated medical marijuana within the state.


As more dispensaries open and supply grows, patient access across Kentucky is expected to continue improving.
