On April 19, 2017, Gov. Jim Justice signed West Virginia’s medical marijuana bill into law! SB 386 passed the Senate in a 28-6 vote on March 29, and it passed the House on April 4 in a 76-24 vote. Sponsored by Sen. Richard Ojeda and 11 co-sponsors, SB 386 will allow seriously ill patients to register to use and safely access medical cannabis.
This makes West Virginia the 29th state to pass an effective medical marijuana law.
