House Bill 136, aimed to legalize medical marijuana in Kentucky, passed out of the House Judiciary Committee in a 15-1 vote.
Rep. Jason Nemes, the bill’s main sponsor, says marijuana is already being used here in Kentucky. He says this bill allows people who need medical marijuana to get “clean product” from a safe spot, not from drug dealers.
Supporters think this bill has a good shot at becoming law. They believe Kentucky could actually legalize medical marijuana.
Up next for HB 136 is the full House.
