Expanding access to medical marijuana cards aims to provide more Kentuckians with legal treatment options.Henderson TodayThe Kentucky Cannabis Industry Association is hosting a series of patient drive events across the state throughout April and May to help Kentuckians who qualify for a medical cannabis card navigate the registration process. The KCIA's KY Patient Drives initiative is committed to making the process of obtaining certification from a licensed medical cannabis practitioner and registering through the state's official portal as accessible and affordable as possible, with most drives connecting patients with a qualifying medical appointment for $25.
