Bill > HB3230

This bill modifies West Virginia's medical cannabis law to permit qualifying patients with a valid medical cannabis identification card to grow and cultivate up to 10 cannabis plants for personal medical use, with no more than five plants reaching maturity simultaneously. The bill expands the permissible forms of medical cannabis to now include dry leaf and plant forms, which were previously prohibited. It maintains existing restrictions that patients may designate up to two caregivers, and caregivers cannot serve more than five patients. The legislation specifies that medical cannabis can only be used in specific forms such as pills, oils, topicals, tinctures, and now includes dry leaf and plant forms. The bill also clarifies that while patients can create edible medical cannabis for personal ingestion, commercial sale of edible medical cannabis remains restricted. The changes aim to provide more flexibility for patients in accessing and using medical cannabis while maintaining regulatory oversight through the requirement of practitioner certification and bureau-issued identification cards.
