Relating to certification of a patient’s eligibility for medical cannabis

HB 2765 amends West Virginia's medical cannabis law by clarifying definitions related to patient eligibility certification. It updates the definition of "certified medical use" to specify that it includes "enabling the patient to tolerate treatment for the serious medical condition" and revises other key terms like "patient," "caregiver," and "continuing care." The bill does not change who qualifies for medical cannabis but refines how eligibility and treatment are documented within the existing program. This procedural update directly affects patients, healthcare providers, and the Bureau for Public Health as they implement certification under the West Virginia Medical Cannabis Act. The bill was introduced on February 21, 2025, and referred to the House Health and Human Resources Committee.
