LEXINGTON, Ky. — It's been six months since Kentucky legalized medical cannabis licenses in the commonwealth. Since then, two companies have been selected to start businesses in Lexington.
A former Frisch's Big Boy in Lexington near the Hamburg shopping pavilion could become Fayette County's first medical cannabis dispensary called the "Speakeasy".
Casey Flippo is the chief executive officer of Dark Horse Cannabis, and is working with KYXL Acquisition Company, which holds the state license for the dispensary.
"Being on the bourbon trail seems appropriate, right? That was back in the twenties. The alcohol industry kind of went through a very similar thing as to where we are with cannabis," Flippo said.
He said the journey for Kentucky's medical cannabis program has been one that is more effective than other states and he credits Kentucky's office of medical cannabis for their research.
