US (KY): Louisville Metro Council Committee punts on medical cannabis rules

Two weeks into Kentucky's window for businesses to apply for medical marijuana licenses, Louisville Metro Council is still debating where those businesses can go.

A committee pushed off a final decision again, unable to agree on whether Jefferson County should have stricter limits on where these businesses can set up.

The state requires applicants to be 1,000 feet away from a school or daycare, but Louisville can't decide whether it should add additional buffer zones for other facilities.

"You start putting in religious organizations, and playgrounds, and parks, public community centers, athletic facilities, public libraries, I don't know where you're going to be able to put this dispensary where people can get their medicine," Council Member Dan Seum said.
