Eyewitness News recently spoke with the committee's chairman, Senator Whitney Westerfield, who said he refuses to hear the bill.
Westerfield told us, in his opinion, the risks of making marijuana more readily available far outweigh the benefits.
The republican state senator calls pot a gateway drug... And unless a major health expert comes forward boasting its benefits... He says it's not something he could support.
The senator sees the legislation only having a chance in the Commonwealth if another committee takes it up.
Western Kentucky lawmakers say they don't see it getting much support this session.
