With the exception of U.S. News, the mainstream media has been quiet about West Virginia Governor Jim Justice and his signing of Senate Bill 386. As Quinn Marie reported in Culture Magazine, SB386 the Medical Cannabis Act was signed into law on April 19, 2107. The signing of the bill made West Virginia the 29th State to legalize medical cannabis.
Searching Google, the legislation is making its way through the news feeds of the counter-culture. The only other "mainstream media" reporting anything as of the penning of this report is WSLS, an NBC affiliate in Roanoke, Virginia. Their headline "West Virginia medical marijuana legalization could cross state lines - Fear is it will carry over into more illegal use in Virginia" shows the fear-based difficulties cannabis activists still face in parts of the country.
