FRANKFORT, Ky. (WBKO) – Four new additional licensed medical cannabis dispensaries are opening across the commonwealth.

The Kentucky Cannabis Industry Alliance (KCIA) made the announcement today.

“These openings mark an important step toward building a functional, patient-centered medical cannabis system in Kentucky,” said Rachel Roberts, executive director of KCIA, in a release. “Each new dispensary brings improved access, choice, and geographic coverage for patients across the state.”

Two new dispensaries are open to registered patients:

• Blue Sage – 172 Imperial Way Nicholasville, KY
• Green Releaf – 1900 Murphy Avenue Ext., Ferguson, KY

Two more dispensaries are scheduled to open this weekend:

• nuEra – 325 Leonardwood Dr, Frankfort, KY, opening Friday, Jan. 30
• Kentucky Alternative Care – 2401-B Bardstown Rd., Louisville KY, opening Saturday, Jan. 31

The new locations join dispensaries already serving Kentucky patients, including:

• The Post – 300 N Main St, Beaver Dam, KY
• Speakeasy – 1849 Alysheba Way, Lexington, KY 

KCIA also confirmed that Kentucky dispensaries are expected to have the state’s first medical cannabis gummies available to patients as early as next week, pending final inventory deliveries and regulatory requirements.

Edible products represent one of the most anticipated product categories for patients seeking vapor-free treatment options.

According to KCIA, the state’s medical cannabis program allows qualified patients to access state-regulated, lab-tested products for conditions including cancer, chronic pain, PTSD, epilepsy, and other approved diagnoses.

Additional dispensary, processor, and cultivation openings are expected in the coming weeks as licensees complete final inspections and approvals.
