Kansas has no medical marijuana program at this time. Possession of any amount of cannabis is considered a crime, and both medical and recreational marijuana use are illegal.
Cannabidiol (CBD) products containing zero percent THC are exempt from the criminal code.
Qualifying Conditions
Most state programs have a list of qualifying conditions that determine eligibility for becoming a medical marijuana patient. We expect that future laws in Kansas will include a list of qualifying conditions.
Legal Topics
At the moment, possessing, consuming, and growing cannabis are all illegal in Kansas.
Kansas state lawmakers have introduced a new bill to legalize medical marijuana. If this medical cannabis bill is successful, the program will roll out in 2025.
It is illegal to cultivate marijuana in the state of Kansas. Growing cannabis is a felony offense punishable by a minimum of 46 months of jail time and fines ranging from $300 to $500,000.
Caregivers
Under most states’ medical cannabis laws, a caregiver can be assigned to assist with the purchase and administering of medical cannabis to minor patients or patients who otherwise may need assistance from others.
Most states have a minimum caregiver age requirement (typically 18 or 21). In many states, the caregiver must also have no criminal convictions relating to drug offenses or violent crimes.
