Amending Constitution to allow for possession, manufacture and sale of cannabis

HJR 37 proposes a constitutional amendment to legalize cannabis for adults 21 and older in West Virginia. It would allow possession of up to two ounces of cannabis or four plants per person, permit the legislature to regulate sales and manufacturing, and require courts to dismiss or expunge prior convictions for small-quantity possession. This amendment requires voter approval at the 2026 general election to take effect. If approved, it would directly affect adults 21+ and individuals with past cannabis possession convictions. The bill does not establish specific regulations but authorizes the legislature to create them.
