Kansas lawmakers return to Topeka next month and it’s expected medical marijuana will be back for debate. Senate President Ty Masterson, almost single handedly prevented the bill from passing last year, saying it was too close to fully legalizing marijuana use in Kansas. He says he’s open to having a discussion on the issue, as long it is for true medical or palliative care. However, he stresses that there are not any real studies on dosing and distribution.
In the latest Kansas Speaks Poll, 67% of respondents say they support legalizing recreational marijuana. Missouri and Colorado have recreational weed. Oklahoma has medical marijuana and Nebraska has decriminalized it.
