As they returned on January 4, lawmakers faced a massive slate of priorities and a limited window in which to accomplish them. Looming above it all is the ongoing omicron surge, the most…

A new Republican-led bill to legalize medical marijuana in Kentucky landed in the state legislature this week. The measure is an update to lead sponsor Rep.

Today, the association stands at about 250 members, according to the group, and its board members point to several accomplishments within the state’s cannabis legalization law as evidence of its increasing clout in…
