Bill > SB732

This bill modifies West Virginia's medical cannabis law to authorize and regulate the production and dispensing of medical cannabis edibles. The bill establishes detailed requirements for edible medical cannabis products, including strict guidelines on their shape, form, potency, and appearance. Specifically, edibles must be either lozenges or gelatins, limited to 10 milligrams of THC per serving, and cannot resemble commercial candy or be visually appealing to children. Processors must obtain bureau approval for each edible product and ensure they are marked with a universal symbol. The bill also updates the state's controlled substance monitoring database requirements to include reporting of medical cannabis dispensations. Additionally, the legislation clarifies that medical cannabis may now be dispensed in edible form, subject to these new regulations, expanding the previous list of permissible medical cannabis forms. The primary goal is to improve patient safety by creating a comprehensive framework for producing and distributing medical cannabis edibles while preventing accidental consumption by children and ensuring consistent product quality and potency.
