Dee Dee Taylor, the pioneering founder of 812 Hemp, recently appeared on a WHAS11 segment to discuss the potential impacts of a new proposal on medical marijuana businesses in Louisville. This proposal, if passed, could impose significant restrictions on where these businesses can operate within the city, a development that could drastically alter the landscape for aspiring dispensary owners.
The Potential Impact on Medical Marijuana Businesses
The state has already set stringent regulations, allowing only two dispensaries in all of Jefferson County. These dispensaries must be at least 1,000 feet away from schools and registered daycares. However, the new proposal seeks to extend these restrictions to include additional locations such as parks, public playgrounds, outdoor recreation areas, community centers, libraries, religious buildings, and other dispensaries.
Dee Dee Taylor’s Perspective
Dee Dee Taylor, who hopes to open one of the two dispensaries allowed in Jefferson County, expressed her concerns during the WHAS11 segment. She noted that while she understands the cautious approach to regulating recreational marijuana, applying such stringent measures to medical marijuana businesses seems premature.
“If they’re trying to do this because of [recreational], I just don’t think that they should do that right now,” Taylor said.
Conclusion
Dee Dee Taylor’s appearance on WHAS11 highlights the challenges and concerns surrounding the new proposal for medical marijuana businesses in Louisville. With her commitment to quality and community, Taylor and 502 Hemp continue to advocate for sensible regulations that support both business growth and public health.
