Medical Cannabis Advisory Pamphlet

The Medical Cannabis Advisory Pamphlet was created in accordance with KRS 218B.140(2)(b) to provide qualified patients and caregivers evidence based educational materials on the risks, dangers, and possible side effects of medical cannabis, as well as to inform patients on how to report potential negative side effects of medical cannabis. The Board of Physicians and Advisors reviewed and voted to approve the Pamphlet at their October 30, 2024 regular meeting.

Dispensaries licensed by the Office are required by KRS 218B.110(2)(d)(1)(a) to provide cardholders with a copy of the Medical Cannabis Advisory Pamphlet upon dispensing medical cannabis to the cardholders. Dispensaries must retain a signature form with the cardholder’s signature for a minimum of thirty-six (36) months as required by KRS 218B.140(2)(b).
