Removing certain drugs from schedule one

HB 2854 would remove marijuana, psilocybin, and tetrahydrocannabinols (THC) from West Virginia's Schedule I of the Uniform Controlled Substances Act. This reclassifies these substances from the most restrictive category to a less restricted status under state law. The bill directly affects medical cannabis patients, providers, and businesses operating under West Virginia's medical marijuana program. The change would allow legal medical use of these substances within the state, aligning with the state's existing medical cannabis framework.
