Understanding Governor Beshear's Executive Order

Until dispensaries are open and accessible to cardholders across the state, an Executive Order signed by Governor Andy Beshear on November 15, 2022 provides a conditional pardon for the possession of medical cannabis. This means you may not be charged with a crime if you meet all of the following requirements:

  1. The medical cannabis must be legally purchased in another U.S. jurisdiction (e.g. a neighboring state where it is legal).
  2. You must have a receipt or proof of purchase showing the date and location of the purchase.
  3. The amount you possess must not exceed eight (8) ounces.
  4. You must have a written certification from a licensed healthcare provider stating you have been diagnosed with a qualifying medical condition.

Important: Federal Law Disclaimer
Please be advised that transporting any cannabis product across state lines is a federal offense. While Executive Order 2022-798 provides a conditional pardon at the state level, it does not provide immunity from federal law or prosecution. The act of crossing a state border with cannabis remains federally illegal.

  • Kentucky residents
  • Have not been convicted of a disqualifying felony offense
  • Diagnosed with one of the following qualifying medical conditions:
  • Any form of cancer regardless of stage*
  • Chronic, severe, intractable, debilitating pain
  • Epilepsy or any other intractable seizure disorder*
  • Multiple sclerosis (MS), muscle spasms, or spasticity*
  • Chronic nausea or Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome that has proven resistant to other conventional medical treatments
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

*Please note that we do not diagnose cancer, epilepsy, or multiple sclerosis.  Patients with these conditions must have the diagnoses documented in their medical chart before their initial appointment.

Recertification appointments are required by the State of Kentucky and may be done via telemedicine. These must occur at a minimum annually, but the frequency is ultimately decided by the certifying physician on a case by case basis.

We accept cash and several third party payment vendors, including PayPal, Apple Pay, and Cash App!

We do not accept any insurance. We offer an affordable flat fee per appointment, no surprise billing! Appointments must be paid for in full at time of service via one of our payment options. 

  • Initial in-person appointment: $250*
  • Recertification appointment: $150**

*Fully refunded if no qualifying condition met

**May be done via telemedicine


You have several options for obtaining a copy of your medical records to bring to your appointment.

  • Contact Your Doctor's Office Directly: The simplest way is to call or message your current physician's office and request that they send your records to our clinic.
  • Use a Patient Portal: If your doctor's office uses a patient portal, you can often access and download your medical history, current medication list, and recent test results yourself. Simply log into your portal, download the relevant documents, print them, and bring them with you.

For Patients of Specific Health Systems:

  • MyChart Users (e.g. Deaconess, Owensboro Health): MyChart provides a simple way to share your records. For instructions, please visit the official MyChart page on sharing your medical record: https://www.mychart.org/Sharing-Your-Medical-Record
  • St. Vincent/Ascension Portal (FollowMyHealth) Users: You can find answers to frequently asked questions about sharing your health records here: https://accounthelp.ascension.org/s/health-records-faqs
  • To request records directly from a St. Vincent hospital or physician, you can use their dedicated online request form here: https://www.swellbox.com/ascension-stvincent-in-wizard.html

There are several key benefits to getting your medical cannabis card during the program's inaugural year of 2025.

  • Waived Renewal Fee: Governor Beshear has announced that individuals who receive their medical cannabis card in 2025 will have their $25 renewal fee waived for the 2026 renewal cycle. This means your first renewal payment will not be due until 2027!
  • Priority and Preparation: Currently, appointments for medical cannabis certifications are widely available. We anticipate that as dispensaries open, demand for appointments will increase significantly. Securing your card now ensures you are prepared to access dispensaries as soon as they become operational.
  • Apply Early to Avoid Delays: Once you submit your completed application to the state, the Kentucky medical cannabis program may take up to 30 days to approve or deny it. After approval, it can take another 5 days to issue your registry ID card. Applying early will help you avoid these processing delays and ensure you can participate in the program as soon as dispensaries open their doors.
