CHARLESTON, W.Va (WSAZ) -- During the special session on Monday, lawmakers passed a medical marijuana vertical integration bill. The original bill was vetoed by Gov. Jim Justice after the 2019 session for a tax inequity.

A bill legalizing medical marijuana was passed back in 2017. The updated cannabis vertical integration bill, Senate Bill 1037, allows one business to grow, process and sell a product with the right permits. Currently, a business like Purple Leaf Cannabis Dispensary would have to buy their product from a farmer.
