\nKentucky Governor Andy Beshear\u2019s executive order legalizing Medicinal Marijuana took effect as the ball dropped on New Year\u2019s Eve.<\/p>\n

Beshear signed the orders in November and said the use of marijuana would improve the quality of life for many people, like veterans suffering from PTSD and those suffering from chronic and terminal conditions like cancer.<\/p>\n

If you are diagnosed with any of the 21 conditions listed in the order<\/a>, you can use marijuana to treat yourself starting January 1st. But there are limitations.<\/p>\n

You need to buy the marijuana from a state that legally sells it and keep the receipt, you can\u2019t have more than eight ounces, and you need proof that you have been diagnosed with one of the conditions.<\/p>\n

While the order does open the door to medical marijuana use, there are still some obstacles.<\/p>\n

Illinois, Virginia, and Missouri are the closest states where marijuana is fully legal.<\/p>\n

Beshear said this is why it\u2019s important that the Kentucky legislature legalize medical marijuana.<\/p>\n

The other executive order he signed was about regulating Delta 8. Delta 8 is between marijuana and hemp. It has THC, but lower than marijuana.<\/p>\n

Beshear said a Kentucky court has ruled it legal.<\/p>\n

Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron criticized the governor when he signed the order in November. He said the general assembly must be allowed to have their say.<\/p>\n

The state legislature meets on January 3, two days after the orders take effect.
