Bill overview
This bill seeks to legalize cannabis production, sales, and adult consumption in West Virginia. It would establish a regulatory framework overseen by the Bureau for Public Health, including licensing requirements and rules for production, sales, and labeling. Counties would hold referendums to determine whether cannabis businesses can operate locally, and a special excise tax and local sales tax would be implemented. The bill also aims to preserve existing laws regarding employment, vehicle operation, and underage use, while acknowledging that this legislation does not alter the existing Medical Cannabis Act.
