Federal Law Change — November 12, 2026

West Virginia permits hemp-derived cannabinoids only through a licensed, taxed channel and has no recreational cannabis program. Section 781 of H.R. 5371 (Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2026, Pub. L. 119-37), effective November 12, 2026, imposes a 0.4 mg total-THC-per-container cap that will sharply curtail the permitted intoxicating hemp market, so the impact is high.
