Kansas House Bill 2678 was introduced, which would allow for the cultivation, processing, manufacturing, distribution, sale, and use of medical cannabis.

At 115 pages, the bill contains a significant amount of proposed regulations, including details on the registration process, the establishment of various boards to regulate cannabis use, a regulation fund, the expunging of cannabis-related charges, the creation of a cannabis tax, and much more.

The bill lists 21 qualifying medical conditions for cannabis therapy, including:

• Severe or intractable pain lasting longer than two weeks where the physician has found that pain is not adequately managed by conventional medications other than opioids or physical interventions
