Short answer
The latest verified policy record classifies hemp-derived THCA flower as restricted in West Virginia; specific products, sales channels, or conditions may be limited.
Review flag: this record is more than 30 days old. Use the linked sources for the latest official position.
Current state posture
Mixed/partially open: SB546 (eff 6/8/23) Schedule-I's d8/10 & synthetics, BUT compliant hemp d9 (≤0.3% d9 dry weight) openly sold 21+ and THCA NOT independently banned — WV still uses delta-9-only test, so THCA flower currently passes state law. D8 is the main banned item.
Recent movement
No new WV hemp legislation Jun-Jul 2026; status quo (SB546 d8 ban + legal d9/THCA).
Litigation and court posture
None found.

Next date to watch
Federal 0.4mg cap 11/12 is what actually kills WV's still-legal THCA flower & hemp d9 — WV has no earlier state flip. Operative clock for a THCA retailer.
Federal change scheduled for November 12, 2026
State rules are only one layer. Unless Congress changes the enacted provision, Section 781 changes the federal hemp definition to total THC—Delta-9 THC plus 0.877 times THCA—and adds a 0.4 milligram total-THC-per-container cap beginning November 12, 2026. That federal change is separate from the West Virginia posture above.
