Who can certify patients for Kentucky medical marijuana use?
The certification process is outlined in Senate Bill 47, which takes effect in 2025. Advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) as well physicians (either an MD or DO) will be able to certify patients for medical marijuana use. There will be required training for medical marijuana practitioners who wish to prescribe medical marijuana ID cards. Updates will be posted to the Kentucky Medical Cannabis Program website.
Qualifying medical conditions include:
Any type or form of cancer, regardless of stage
Chronic, severe, intractable or debilitating pain
Epilepsy or any other intractable seizure disorder
Multiple sclerosis, muscle spasms or spasticity
Chronic nausea or cyclical vomiting syndrome resistant to other conventional treatment methods
Post-traumatic stress disorder
There are efforts to expand this list, namely Senate Bill 337. If this bill passes, then the qualifying medical condition list would grow from six to 21 conditions.
