West Virginia Medical Marijuana Dispensary

What West Virginia Medical Marijuana Dispensaries Need to Know:

West Virginia Dispensaries seeking licensure must complete an application that includes the name of the dispensary, personal information of each officer, and the operating procedures that the dispensary will use, consistent with the Commission’s regulations.

The Commission shall establish an application process for granting licenses for dispensaries, as well as set standards for licensure including safety requirements, product tracking system requirements, security and product handling, application fees, licensure renewal, and a process for selecting and approving applications.

Initially, the West Virginia Medical Cannabis Commission will license no more than 60 dispensaries, seeking to achieve geographic diversity during the licensing process. By July 1st, 2020, the Commission may issue as many licenses as necessary to meet patient demand for medical cannabis. There will be a 10% sales tax on products from growers/processors to dispensaries.

Dispensaries licensed by this act may not be prosecuted or penalized under state law for acquiring, processing, possessing, transporting, selling or dispensing medical cannabis, related products or educational materials for use by a qualifying patient or caregiver.
