HB 2218 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to the offense of adulteration or alteration of medical cannabis testing results

HB 2218 makes it a felony to adulterate, alter, or change the tested potency or purity of medical cannabis - either from its actual results or as listed on a patient's or caregiver's ID card. It directly affects medical cannabis testing facilities, labs, and individuals involved in the medical cannabis supply chain who might tamper with test results. The bill imposes penalties of up to $2.5 million per incident and permanent license revocation for businesses, or up to $100,000 fines plus 1-5 years in prison for individuals per incident. This establishes specific criminal penalties for falsifying medical cannabis test results under West Virginia law.
