Alexandria City Council discusses medical cannabis ballot measure
ALEXANDRIA, Ky. The Alexandria City Council discussed its intentions to put medical cannabis on the ballot for residents to decide during its July 18 meeting.
Though the meeting had a quorum, two members were missing, so the four present members and the mayor decided to wait to vote on the measure until their next meeting on Aug. 1. Council members Patrick Blair, Robert Strong, Kyle Sparks and Joe Anderson, along with Mayor Andy Schabell, informally agreed that they would choose to vote to put medical cannabis on the November ballot.
My personal two opinions are either allow it or put it on the ballot, Schabell said. I dont think we should say no because that doesnt give the residents any say.
Medical cannabis will be legal in the state effective Jan. 1, 2025. Each city is responsible for creating the zoning regulations to either make way or not allow those types of businesses to operate.
