o      On Feb. 20, 2020, Josh Hicks tweeted, “Glad to see real progress towards legalizing medical marijuana in Kentucky today. Congratulations to my friend and fellow Fleming Countian @sims4rep70, who co-sponsored this bill.”[1]

o      In a Feb. 20, 2020, article, the Lexington Herald-Leader reported, “The Kentucky House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a bill Thursday that would legalize medical marijuana in Kentucky, marking significant progress for a piece of legislation that has long stalled in the legislature.

“House Bill 136 was approved 65-30 after more than two hours of debate and consideration of 11 floor amendments, eight of which were approved. They contained mostly minor changes.

“A more skeptical Senate gets the bill next. If the bill becomes law, Kentucky would be the 34th state to legalize medical marijuana.”[2]
