Beaver Dam, KY — In a historic move for the state, Kentucky has officially approved its first medical cannabis dispensary, signaling a major step forward in expanding healthcare access for residents with serious medical conditions. Governor Andy Beshear announced on Wednesday that "The Post Dispensary" in Beaver Dam has received the green light to begin operations this fall.
Located on North Main Street, The Post Dispensary will be the first facility in the Commonwealth of Kentucky legally permitted to distribute medical cannabis. It's a significant moment not just for Beaver Dam, but for patients across the Tri-State region who have long advocated for safe, legal access to alternative treatments.
Kentucky passed its medical cannabis legislation in 2023, joining the growing number of states recognizing the therapeutic benefits of cannabis for conditions like chronic pain, epilepsy, PTSD, multiple sclerosis, and cancer. Until now, however, patients had to travel out of state or rely on unregulated sources to obtain medical cannabis—both risky and often legally precarious options.
With the opening of The Post Dispensary, those patients will soon have access to a licensed, state-regulated facility right in their community.
