Cannabis Prices in Richmond

Kentucky cannabis pricing (January 2026 - early program, subject to change):
During the initial launch at The Post Dispensary:
Flower: ~$50 per eighth (limited hybrid strain available)
Vaporizers: Required for flower consumption, sold at dispensary
Expected pricing as market develops:
Flower: $45-60 per eighth
Vapes: $50-80 for cartridges
Edibles: $20-40 per package
Tinctures: $40-70
Note: Early pricing is higher due to extremely limited supply. Prices are expected to decrease as more cultivators harvest and dispensaries open. The first dispensary sold out within 7 days, indicating supply constraints.
Medical card: $25 annual fee
Doctor certification: $100-200 (not covered by insurance)
No recreational sales tax applies—Kentucky only has medical cannabis. Standard state sales tax applies to products.
Safe Shopping in Kentucky
Purchase only from licensed Kentucky medical cannabis dispensaries. All products are lab-tested for potency and contaminants.
CRITICAL: Smoking cannabis flower is ILLEGAL in Kentucky, even for medical patients. You must vaporize flower using an approved device. Dispensaries sell vaporizers for this purpose.
Start low with edibles (5mg THC) and wait 90+ minutes before consuming more. Kentucky limits edibles to 10mg per serving for safety.
Never drive impaired. Kentucky has proposed strict THC blood limits for drivers. Cannabis metabolites can remain in your system for weeks.
Store cannabis securely away from children and pets. Keep products in original packaging with labels intact.
Your medical cannabis card is personal—do not share products with non-cardholders. Providing cannabis to someone without a valid card is illegal.
Keep your medical card current. Cards expire after one year and require renewal.
