Every state has different marijuana laws- they are regulated by state, not federal law. Some states allow marijuana for recreational and medical use, some states only allow medical use, and some only allow certain low THC products for medical use. Most states limit the number of licenses they will grant and the window to apply for them. Getting licenced is never simple- there are very specific requirements and guidelines that differ by state and its usually highly competitive, which is why most successful applicants work with consultants like Dispensary Permits to help guide them. We highly advise you read the guidelines below thoroughly and then consider working with a consultant or using our templates and guides.

The History of Kansas Marijuana

Multiple bills have been introduced in Kansas to decriminalize or reduce penalties for marijuana possession. HB2462 was approved by the Kansas Legislature in 2016. As of July 2016, it reduces penalties for first time possession offenses to six months, from one year in jail. Second offenses are misdemeanors rather than felonies and limited to a maximum one year sentence.

SB 112 was approved by the Kansas Legislature in 2017. As of May 2017, it aimed to create similar reductions in penalties for marijuana accessories and paraphenalia related to growing or cultivation. This did not affect the penalties for growing marijuana, only separate charges for possession of materials with which to do so. So long as used to cultivate 5 or less plants, the fines are reduced to $1000 and/or 6 months in jail.

In May 2019, Kansas Governor Laura Kelly signed into law House Bill 2244 which will allow profoundly ill people who have been unable to find relief with pharmaceutical medications to avoid prosecution for possessing certain blends of oil extracted from cannabis plants. The law goes into effect on July 1, 2019. To clarify, the passage of this bill will create an affirmative defense for patients with debilitating medical conditions who are caught in possession of low-THC cannabidiol (CBD) oil. The new law does not establish a system of medical cannabis businesses to provide safe, legal access to the CBD oil. The cultivation, sale, distribution, and regulation of cannabis and/or its derivatives remains illegal.
