A Virginia lawmaker has introduced legislation to establish a regulated adult-use marijuana market and expand the legal possession limit for adults aged 21 and over from one ounce to 2.5 ounces. The proposal would create a full licensing system for cultivation, processing, testing, distribution, and retail under the Virginia Cannabis Control Authority, while maintaining safety and compliance standards. It aims to fill the gap in Virginia’s current law, which allows possession but lacks legal recreational sales.
