Getting to know regulations in West Virginia

In January 2022, West Virginia had enacted legislation to establish a medical cannabis program. The West Virginia Office of Medical Cannabis, part of the Department of Health and Human Resources, oversees the state's medical marijuana program.

For businesses seeking to operate in the cannabis industry in West Virginia, the state has implemented a licensing system. The Office of Medical Cannabis is responsible for issuing licenses for various aspects of the industry, including cultivation, processing, and dispensing. The licensing process typically involves thorough scrutiny, adherence to regulatory requirements, and compliance with security and operational standards.
