Kentucky’s Hospital Cannabis Problem exposes the gap between medical cannabis approval and bedside access. Kentucky now recognizes terminal illness in its program. However, hospitals, hospices, nursing homes, and other care settings may still decide whether patients can use cannabis where pain, fear, and end-of-life care are happening.
Every year, millions of pounds of perfectly good cannabis are destroyed under “safety” rules that do little but feed landfills. From testing failures to expiration laws, the system burns medicine while patients go without. Dead Flowers: The Waste of American Weed follows the regulators, the waste, and the absurd logic behind America’s most profitable destruction ritual.
