Cannabis dispensaries are illegal in Kansas. The state has no medical or recreational marijuana program, so there is no dispensary zoning framework in Wichita. No licenses for cannabis sales are issued at the state or local level.
Kansas remains one of the few states with no legal marijuana program of any kind. Without state authorization for cannabis sales, Wichita has no dispensary zoning regulations, licensing requirements, or buffer zone rules. CBD products derived from hemp with less than 0.3% THC are legal under the 2018 federal Farm Bill and Kansas law, and these products may be sold at regular retail locations without special zoning. Any establishment selling marijuana would be subject to criminal prosecution.
Operating a cannabis dispensary in Wichita would constitute distribution of a controlled substance under Kansas law, a drug severity level 3 felony punishable by up to 46 months in prison and fines up to $100,000. The property could be subject to asset forfeiture.
