About Cannabis in Florence
Florence is one of Northern Kentucky's largest and fastest-growing cities, located in Boone County along the I-71/I-75 corridor near the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG). A major retail and commercial hub for the region, Florence draws shoppers from across Boone, Kenton, and Grant counties — and its cannabis retail scene reflects that energy.
Florence has one of the larger concentrations of CBD retailers, smoke shops, and hemp stores in NKY. Shops near the Florence Y interchange and along US-42 (Burlington Pike) and US-25 (Dixie Highway) serve a high volume of customers from across the region, including travelers passing through CVG.
As Kentucky's medical marijuana program under Senate Bill 47 develops, Boone County is expected to be an early and significant market for licensed dispensaries. Until that happens, Cincinnati's recreational dispensaries are just 15–20 minutes north on I-75.
