The Kentucky Office of the Inspector General announced Thursday that it has concluded an investigation into the medical cannabis licensing process implemented by the state’s Office of Medical Cannabis (OMC).

“After an independent review of the program, the licensing process it established in the regulations, and related regulations and statutes, this office found that the OMC created an effective program that was fully transparent and fair to all license applicants.” – Excerpt from REPORT

The report comes a year after the OMC requested an investigation into the process.

Gov. Andy Beshear praised the program during a recent Kntucky Team Update, stating that “The Office of Medical Cannabis stated that the regulations and licensing processes were designed with two goals in mind—fairness and transparency—and the OIG report clearly acknowledged that those goals were met.” WHAS11 reports.

Meanwhile, Kentucky’s medical cannabis program began last December, serving registered patients diagnosed with conditions including cancer, chronic pain or nausea, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

A recent Texas poll found that 75% of voters support medical cannabis reforms, KTAL reports.

The survey by Fabrizio, Lee & Associates found that while three-quarters of respondents said they support the legalization of medical cannabis in general, only 11% said they had previously heard of the Texas Compassionate Use Program (TCUP), which state lawmakers passed in 2015 to grant limited access to cannabinoid-based products.

Of the 1,000 respondents, 44% said they would be more likely to vote for a legislator who supported TCUP, while only 13% said they would be less likely to vote for them.

Meanwhile, Texas lawmakers passed a new law last year expanding the TCUP to increase the number of licensed operators and allow new methods of consumption, including the distribution of vaporized or aerosolized medical cannabis, while smoking remains prohibited. The expansions also included adding traumatic brain injury, chronic pain and any terminal illness or condition requiring hospice as qualifying conditions for the program.

The poll, which was designed to gauge voter reaction to the TCUP expansions, found that 63% of Texas Republicans support legalizing medical cannabis.
