Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to improve patient safety in the medical cannabis program by authorizing permitted, regulated medical cannabis processors to manufacture medical cannabis in edible form for dispensing to certified patients in the state; to specify certain requirements applicable to medical cannabis dispensed in edible form; and to require information relating to the dispensing of medical cannabis be input into the controlled substance monitoring database.
AI Summary
This bill modifies West Virginia's medical cannabis program to allow for edible forms of medical cannabis, aiming to improve patient safety by regulating their production and dispensing. Licensed medical cannabis processors will be permitted to manufacture edibles, which must meet specific requirements including approval from the bureau, adherence to defined shapes and forms (like lozenges or gelatins), a maximum of 10 milligrams of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) per serving, and strict prohibitions against additives, resemblance to candy, or colors attractive to children. Additionally, all dispensaries will be required to input information about medical cannabis dispensing into the controlled substance monitoring database, which is a system designed to track the distribution of prescription drugs and now will include medical cannabis to enhance oversight.
