Medical cannabis dispensaries in Kentucky must comply with state licensing requirements and local zoning regulations. The LFUCG Zoning Ordinance requires dispensaries to meet separation distance requirements from schools, churches, parks, and other sensitive uses. Dispensaries are permitted only in specific commercial and industrial zoning districts. Lexington-Fayette County opted in to allow medical cannabis dispensaries within its jurisdiction.
Lexington prohibits cannabis dispensaries and retail sales. State law does not authorize the sale of marijuana for any purpose. Unauthorized cannabis sales operations face criminal prosecution including felony charges for distribution. CBD products derived from hemp with less than 0.3% THC may be sold through regular retail channels.
Any cannabis sales: felony charges. Distribution penalties vary by quantity. Property used for sales may be subject to forfeiture.
