Enacting the adult use cannabis regulation act to regulate the cultivation, manufacturing, possession and sale of cannabis in this state.

HB 2405 establishes a legal framework for regulating cannabis use by adults in Kansas. It requires businesses to obtain licenses for activities like growing, manufacturing, transporting, and selling cannabis, while imposing a tax on sales to fund a new "cannabis business regulation fund." The bill also provides exemptions from certain drug-related criminal penalties for adults possessing or using cannabis within the regulated system. This legislation replaces existing cannabis laws and amends specific Kansas statutes to create the new regulatory structure.
