  • As Kentucky prepares to implement the new medical cannabis law, the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives warns people that if you register for the medical marijuana program, you are legally not allowed to own or buy guns.

Starting January 1, 2025, Kentucky residents will face a unique dilemma due to a new law that prohibits individuals with a medical cannabis card from purchasing, possessing, or carrying a firearm. This regulation stems from the federal classification of cannabis as a Schedule I drug, which conflicts with the Second Amendment rights. Despite the legalization of medical cannabis in Kentucky, the state must adhere to federal law, which does not recognize state-issued medical cannabis cards as a valid reason to bypass firearm restrictions. This has led to a situation where Kentuckians must choose between their right to bear arms and their access to medical cannabis.
