Show Notes
West Virginias medical marijuana fund, totaling $38 million, has been a subject of debate. Governor Patrick Morrisey vetoed a bill that aimed to allocate funds for cannabis research, homelessness, and a new child protection commission. The funds have been accumulating since federal rules labeled marijuana illegal, and now, they primarily support public health initiatives, drug rehab programs, and law enforcement efforts. Treasurer Larry Pack anticipates a renewed debate in the next session, highlighting the ongoing challenge of managing these funds effectively.
