It was established by House Bill 604, which became law on April 26, 2022.[1][2][3] Its purpose under the statute is "to advance the study of the use of cannabis and cannabis derivatives for the treatment of certain medical conditions and diseases".[4] The legislation requires the university to apply to the U..S. Drug Enforcement Administration for licenses to grow and administer medical cannabis.[5] By October 2022, the center had received a multimillion-dollar grant to study medical cannabis for cancer patients.[6] Under Kentucky Senate Bill 47, the center plays a role in the state's medical cannabis regulation, by adding to the list of qualifying medical conditions.[7] References
