As of January 2022, a house-passed bill to legalize medical marijuana in Kansas seems to be in jeopardy, with GOP Senate leadership moving the legislation out of a committee and into a different panel where it may sit in legislative limbo.
This doesn't necessarily mean that medical marijuana legalization is off the table for Kansas in 2022. Still, it does seem to signal the reform might need to be enacted through another vehicle, either in the legislature or at the ballot.
House Minority Leader Tom Sawyer (D) and Assistant Minority Leader Jason Probst (D) said this month that they will be introducing proposals to let voters decide on legalizing medical and adult-use cannabis in the state.
