Can I get a medical marijuana card if I have a criminal record? - West Virginia

Yes. WV doesn't discriminate against patients. But if you're on parole or in some other form of state custody or supervision, you must check with your supervisor before using medical cannabis. It may not be allowed in your situation. You must submit to a background check to become a caregiver and the department may deny your application if you have a history of felony possession or sale of controlled substances or drug-related conspiracy. They may also deny caregivers' applications with a history of drug abuse or diversion of controlled substances.
