Comments from IJC on Agriculture | Chair, Rep. Myron Dossett

With what the process that is taking place right now, I feel that the governor's decision to roll back this so far as allowing these patients who desperately need this help to be able to go out of state, you're leaning to guide them toward the streets and purchasing something illegal because of the cost. So we do want to be very cautious about that. And I do not believe, and I'm going to speak for Representative Diven, I did not hear him say eliminate this program. I think what he's saying is make sure our Kentucky farmers are actually involved because I've continuously come back and my question is, of these applications in this process, how many of even you are able to see with the LLCs, the individuals that are part of those LLCs, I want to know how many of our Kentucky farmers who I know are part of the LLCs who have hemp license, who are the ones that I trust most to do this and have the most faith in, were the ones that got the ability and I wanted to make sure they had some preference in getting these applications through.
