Proposing to amend the bill of rights of the constitution of the state of Kansas by adding a new section relating to the right for adults to possess and use cannabis.
This bill proposes adding a new section to the Kansas Constitution to establish a legal right for adults to possess and use cannabis. If passed by the legislature and approved by voters, it would grant adults the ability to hold and consume cannabis while allowing the government to enforce reasonable laws that protect public health, safety, and general welfare. The measure would be placed on the ballot for a public vote in November 2026, where a "yes" vote would enshrine this right in the state constitution.
