AN ACT relating to medicinal cannabis.

This bill amends Kentucky's medicinal cannabis laws to update the list of qualifying medical conditions and clarify the requirements for a valid doctor-patient relationship. It directly affects patients seeking medical cannabis, healthcare providers, and licensed cannabis businesses by establishing specific standards for patient assessments and expanding the range of recognized conditions. The key provisions include requiring practitioners to review patients' medical history, current medications, and potential risks before prescribing, while adding conditions like sickle cell disease and post-traumatic stress disorder to the list of eligible diagnoses. Additionally, the bill defines terms such as "qualified patient," "designated caregiver," and "disqualifying felony offense" to provide clearer legal guidance for the program's administration.
