Kentucky lawmaker prefiles bills to decriminalize marijuana, wants issue on ballot for voters

Kentucky could become the next state to de-criminalize adult use of cannabis.

State Representative Nima Kulkarni, D-Louisville, pre-filed legislation on Nov. 29 that would remove criminal penalties for possessing small amounts of cannabis and give voters a chance to protect those provisions constitutionally.

The amendment would go before voters next November if approved by three-fifths of the State House of Representatives and Senate during the upcoming 2022 legislative session. Kulkarni’s constitutional amendment would allow Kentuckians 21 and older to possess, use, buy and sell up to an ounce of cannabis without criminal penalty.
