Bill > HB3201

This bill improves the medical cannabis program in West Virginia by authorizing and establishing detailed regulations for medical cannabis edible products. Specifically, the bill allows medical cannabis processors to manufacture edibles for certified patients, but imposes strict requirements on their production and appearance. Edibles must be manufactured in only two forms (lozenges or gelatins), come in specific geometric shapes, and cannot exceed 10 milligrams of THC per serving. The bill prohibits edibles from resembling commercial candy, using color additives, or having decorative features that might attract children. Processors must obtain bureau approval for each edible product and mark them with a universal symbol. Additionally, the bill requires dispensaries to input medical cannabis dispensing information into the controlled substance monitoring database, enhancing tracking and patient safety. The legislation modifies existing laws to permit edible medical cannabis products while implementing comprehensive safeguards to prevent misuse and protect vulnerable populations, particularly children, from accidental or intentional inappropriate consumption.
