AI Summary
-
Authorizes medical cannabis to be dispensed in edible form (lozenges and gelatins) in West Virginia, adding to currently permitted forms like pills, oils, tinctures, and topicals.
-
Requires edibles to be limited to basic geometric shapes (square, circle, rectangle, triangle, parallelogram, oval, or diamond) with no color additives, decorations, or resemblance to commercial candy to prevent appeal to children.
-
Caps each single-serving edible at 10 milligrams of THC with no more than 15 percent potency variance, and requires processors to obtain bureau approval before producing any edible product.
-
Mandates that dispensaries report medical cannabis dispensing information to the state's Controlled Substances Monitoring Program Database, previously required only for Schedule II-V controlled substances.
-
Removes the previous allowance for patients or caregivers to incorporate medical cannabis into edible form at home, shifting edible production exclusively to licensed processors.
