Evergreen law guide
West Virginia licenses medical cannabis cultivation, processing and dispensing through a capped number of permits, with patient certification required. Adult-use is not authorised. Hemp is regulated under a state agricultural plan with testing obligations.
The state's permit numbers are limited and growth in the patient base has been slower than projected, which affects the economics of a licensed operation.
Business impact
Investors should model on actual patient participation rather than forecasts. Permit holders face limited competition but also a small market.
