Bill Summary
A BILL to amend and reenact §16A-3-2 and §16A-3-3 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, relating generally to medical cannabis; modifying allowable forms of medical cannabis to include edible form; specifying certain requirements applicable to medical cannabis dispensed in edible form; and modifying the unlawful use of medical cannabis.
AI Summary
This bill modifies West Virginia's medical cannabis law to permit the dispensing of medical cannabis in edible form, provided specific requirements are met. These requirements include processor approval from the bureau for each edible product, adherence to specific shapes like squares, circles, or diamonds, and manufacturing as lozenges or gelatins. Each single serving edible cannot exceed 10 milligrams of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and edibles are prohibited from containing color additives, resembling commercial candy, or including additives that increase potency or psychoactivity. Additionally, edibles must be marked with a universal symbol and produced to minimize characteristics attractive to children. The bill also amends the unlawful use of medical cannabis section to remove the previous prohibition on incorporating or selling medical cannabis in edible form.
