Kentucky Cannabis Industry Alliance Hosts Free Wellness Expo in Lexington

Navigating Kentucky’s evolving medical cannabis landscape becomes significantly easier this month as the Kentucky Cannabis Industry Alliance prepares to host a day-long expo at the Central Bank Center. The September 19 event aims to bridge the gap between patients and licensed professionals, offering direct access to certifications and industry guidance.

The expo, running from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., is designed to demystify the state's medical cannabis program for residents who may find the application process intimidating. Attendees can engage directly with local cultivators, processors, and healthcare experts. According to Rachel Roberts, Executive Director of the alliance, the primary focus is breaking down barriers to entry by housing practitioners, educational panels, and community support resources under one roof.

A central feature of the event is a patient drive conducted in partnership with Kentucky Marijuana Card. Eligible participants can secure medical cannabis certifications on-site for a $25 fee, with notaries available to finalize the paperwork immediately. While the event provides a streamlined path to certification, officials confirmed that no cannabis products will be sold or distributed at the venue. Appointments for the certification drive are encouraged to ensure timely service, though the expo itself remains open to the public without a medical card.
