West Virginia has announced the first round of medical dispensary licensees and locations. The state’s Department of Health and Human Resources announced the full list of medical cannabis dispensary permits on Friday.
Many announced locations are located within the Ohio Valley region. The West Virginia Office of Medical Cannabis also announced that the West Virginia Department of Resources is accepting applications for medical cannabis beginning at noon on Wednesday, February 3rd, 2021.
Residents with serious medical conditions can register to receive medical cannabis at www.medcanwv.org. It should be noted that registering does not guarantee acceptance into the program or that medical cannabis products can immediately be obtained by a patient.
Currently the West Virginia cannabis industry is working to build out facilities throughout the state for cultivation, extraction and other requirements for producing medical cannabis and medical cannabis products. Dispensary locations will also need to be developed and built.
A West Virginia medical marijuana patient card is valid only in the state of West Virginia and offers no legal protections for products obtained outside the West Virginia medical cannabis system. All patients must register through the link as there is no paper application available.

Jason Frame, director of West Virginia Office of Medical Cannabis said, “Even during this pandemic, the Office of Medical Cannabis has been working hard to advance the program and to achieve these steps to ensure that medical cannabis is made available to West Virginia residents with serious medical conditions.”
Currently, the West Virginia Medical Cannabis Act permits West Virginia residents with serious medical conditions to procure medical cannabis for certified medical use in the following forms: Pill; oil; topical forms including gels, creams or ointments; a form medically appropriate for administration by vaporization or nebulization, dry leaf or plant form; tincture; liquid; or dermal patch.
West Virginia passed a Senate bill in 2017 approving medical marijuana taking 4 years to then issue the first round of licenses.
“People have wondered why it has taken so long, and why it is happening. And the answer is because it’s still illegal per federal law. So a state has to find a lot of work arounds and a lot of ways to circumvent federal law when it comes to marijuana,” West Virginia Senator Ryan Weld said.
