Cannabis in West Virginia concerns the drug cannabis in West Virginia, United States where it is illegal except for medical use. Non-medical possession of even small amounts is a misdemeanor crime.[1]

Medical cannabis

Medical cannabis bills were introduced in West Virginia in each year between 2010 and 2015,[2] when West Virginia Senate Bill 546 and West Virginia House Bill 2909 sought to legalize marijuana for medical use, but failed to advance prior to the end of the legislative session on 14 March.[3]

In 2017, Senate Bill 386 was passed, legalizing medical cannabis for specific chronic medical conditions. Governor Justice signed it into law on April 19, 2017, and it will go into effect in July 2018.[4][5]
