AI Summary

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment in Kentucky that would legally guarantee individuals 21 years and older the right to possess, use, buy, and sell up to one ounce of cannabis, as well as cultivate up to five cannabis plants for personal use without facing criminal sanctions. The proposed amendment would allow the General Assembly to regulate and control the production, processing, and sale of cannabis and cannabis-derived products. The bill outlines a process for submitting this constitutional amendment to Kentucky voters for ratification, requiring the Secretary of State to publish the full text of the proposed amendment in a newspaper of general circulation and to certify the amendment to each county clerk. The amendment would be placed on the ballot at the next regular election when members of the General Assembly are to be voted for, giving voters the opportunity to directly approve or reject this significant change to cannabis laws in Kentucky.
