Lastly we look at Kansas, which may be on its way to medical legalization, according to recent news.
Governor Laura Kelly (D) recently expressed support for providing medical marijuana access, and has further stated that she would also consider signing an adult use legalization bill into law should it reach her desk. As lawmakers ramp up efforts to legalize medical marijuana in the state in 2021, last week a spokesperson for Gov. Kelly said: “As our state recovers from COVID-19, legalizing medical marijuana is an innovative solution to increase state revenue and improve Kansas’ overall health and economy. We must come up with a Kansas-specific approach that’s well-regulated, controlled, and a collaborative effort with the law enforcement community.”
It looks like Governor Kelly may have such a bill in front of her desk sooner rather than later as in recent news this Wednesday, a medical marijuana bill was introduced with the support of the Kansas Cannabis Industry Association.
Kansas is currently one of 14 states without legal access to medical marijuana though many supporters said they are confident enough lawmakers would support the bill if it was voted on. They said the bill would implement a regulated system, making sure the product is safe and tax is collected.
Spencer Duncan, Executive Director of the Kansas Cannabis Industry Association, said he thinks the bill may help boost the economy.
“We don’t want to miss the economic benefits of that, but we also don’t want to miss the true benefits that have been discovered as other states have gotten into it, and that we’ve heard from people firsthand even here in Kansas that have used it in other states and that’s the number one priority,” Duncan said. “Helping people get medical access to something that clearly has a beneficial effect.”
