Relating to drug scheduling

HB 5146 would amend West Virginia's drug scheduling law to remove marijuana, psilocybin, and tetrahydrocannabinols (THC) from Schedule I, the most restrictive category for controlled substances. This change would move these substances to a less restrictive classification under the state's Uniform Controlled Substances Act. The bill directly affects how these specific substances are legally treated in West Virginia, removing their current Schedule I status. It does not address medical or recreational use but changes their regulatory classification. The bill was introduced by Delegate Young and referred to the Health and Human Resources and Judiciary committees.
