KSHL wants Kansas lawmakers to legalize medical marijuana and expand Medicaid
TOPEKA, Kansas — A group made up of older Kansas residents is asking lawmakers to end long-time opposition to medical marijuana legalization and Medicaid expansion.Kansas remains one of only a few states with no legal way to access cannabis and one of nine states that have not expanded the health care program Medicaid.The Kansas Silver Haired Legislature met at the Statehouse in Topeka and voted to advocate for those issues during the legislative session that starts in January.The group argues thousands of uninsured Kansans are between the ages of 60 and 64 and fall into a coverage gap.
