Cannabis Laws in West Virginia

Is weed legal in West Virginia? Medical only — cannabis is legal for registered medical patients, but not for general adult use.

West Virginia operates a medical-only cannabis program with dozens of dispensaries open statewide as of 2026. Registered patients may possess up to a 30-day supply as determined by their certifying physician. There is no adult-use market and home cultivation is prohibited.

Federally, cannabis is still a controlled substance nationwide — but that status is in flux. See where rescheduling stands →
