The House Judiciary Committee approved House Bill 136 Wednesday night in Frankfort.
House Bill 136 will look to make medical marijuana available for up to 60,000 Kentuckians.
The bill legalizes marijuana grown, processed and dispensed in Kentucky to Kentuckians recommended by Kentucky doctors.
“This consensus legislation was crafted based on the input of numerous stakeholders, and will improve the quality of life of our fellow citizens suffering from chronic pain and life-altering illnesses, for which no traditional medicine has been effective,” St. Onge said.
