About Medical Marijuana in Kansas
There is no medical marijuana program as of yet in Kansas. However, in 2021, the Kansas House passed House Substitute (H. Sub.) for Senate Bill (SB) 158, which would create the Kansas Medical Marijuana Regulation Act and the Kansas Medical Marijuana Regulation Program.
The Senate didn’t vote for the bill in 2021, likely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but it remains on the table for consideration at the 2022 session. Another, similar medical marijuana bill has also been proposed: SB 315.
How to qualify
You can’t yet qualify for a medical cannabis card in Kansas.
Here’s what you need to know:
Leafwell will keep you updated so you can become one of the first patients under a future program.
Medical Conditions
Most programs have a list of qualifying conditions which are a requirement for becoming a patient.
Join the waitlist to get updated.
We expect a future law in Kansas will include a list of qualifying conditions.
Possession and Growing
At the moment, possessing and growing cannabis are both illegal in Kansas.
Once a medical cannabis law is passed, it will permit patients to carry a certain amount, to be determined.
Caregivers
Medical Marijuana patients will probably be allowed a caregiver in Kansas
Under most cannabis laws, caregivers are included to allow patients who may be eligible for an MMJ Card but unable to apply for one themselves to get their medicine.
01
For example, should the patient be a minor under 18, or if the patient needs assistance accessing medical cannabis, a caregiver can be assigned to complete the process on their behalf.
Reciprocity
Kansas doesn’t recognize other states’ medical cards because cannabis is illegal.
Reciprocity is one key benefit for medical marijuana users. Unlike recreational cannabis users, medical marijuana users with a medical marijuana card can travel to the states listed above and purchase the medical marijuana they require while they are out of state.
