LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Dee Dee Taylor, owner of 502Hemp flips through the investigation report of Kentucky’s Office of Medical Cannabis, released Thursday.

“I think that there may be some things missing that they didn’t look at,” Taylor said.

She said this after reading the report finding the lottery and application process ‘thorough, fair and fully transparent’. Taylor said she finds this ‘extremely’ hard to believe. She is one many of applicants who didn’t get picked in the lottery.

Governor Andy Beshear announced the release of the findings in his Team Kentucky update.

“We’ve done it faster than just about any other state while it being very safe and regulated,” he said.

Complaints on the lottery process sparked an investigation by State Auditor Allison Ball. She is working on her own report.

She told WHAS11 last year, she is looking into concerns that out-of-state companies are stacking applications, which would increase odds in the lottery.

Ball provided the example of Dark Horse as a potential monopoly, what she called a vertical integration. This is when one company owns a processor, cultivator and dispensary license.

“They also had 350 LLC’s that they created, so they had the app-stacking problem and the vertical integration,” Ball said.

The investigation released Thursday references Dark Horse.

“One manager or a group of managers are not prohibited from managing multiple businesses that are owned by separate and distinct owners,” the conclusion reads. “Such an occurrence is not considered vertical integration because the owners are separate and distinct.”

Taylor said she is looking forward to Ball’s report which hasn’t been released yet.
