Relating to the cultivation of medical cannabis

HB 3230 allows certified medical cannabis patients and their designated caregivers to grow up to 10 cannabis plants for personal use, with no more than five mature flowering plants at any time. Patients must have a valid bureau-issued ID card and physician certification, and plants must be kept for the patient's exclusive use. The bill explicitly prohibits commercial cultivation, requiring growers to hold a bureau permit, and specifies that only plant form may be cultivated (excluding dry leaf or other forms for personal growth). This amendment to West Virginia's medical cannabis law expands patient access by permitting home cultivation under strict limits, while maintaining existing rules for dispensing and product labeling.
