House Concurrent Resolution No. 5029 proposes an amendment to the Kansas Constitution to establish a public right to possess and use cannabis for medical purposes. This amendment would be added to the bill of rights and would allow for the use of cannabis, provided it is regulated by reasonable laws that ensure public health, safety, and general welfare. The resolution requires approval from two-thirds of both the House of Representatives and the Senate before being submitted to the voters.

If approved, the proposed amendment will be presented to the electorate during the general election in November 2026, unless a special election is called sooner. The ballot will include an explanatory statement outlining the implications of the amendment, clarifying that a vote in favor would grant the right to use cannabis for medical purposes, while a vote against it would maintain the current constitutional provisions without change.
