National Marijuana Initiative

The National Marijuana Initiative is an American organization founded in 2001.[1] It is one of three initiatives under the federal High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas program.[2]

Kentucky (2015)

In 2015, House Bill 3 and Senate Bill 40 both proposed establishing a medical cannabis framework in Kentucky, both failed to pass out of committee. NMI and the Kentucky Baptist Convention took credit for the defeat of the bills, and vowed to oppose medical cannabis bills in 2016. NMI coordinator Ed Shemelya stated: "The ultimate end game for proponents of – and I don't even like to call it medical marijuana – the proponents of marijuana as medicine is not to sanction marijuana as medicine but the outright legalization of recreational use of marijuana."[3]
