With the acceleration of certain provisions of the Cannabis Control Act (VA HB2312 2021), there may be a false sense of security regarding the sale, possession, and cultivation of marijuana in the Commonwealth of Virginia. If you are the family member of an incarcerated person convicted under harsher marijuana possession or distribution laws seeking to petition the Attorney General for a sentence reduction; a CBD business looking to expand operations; an industrial farmer or a residential homeowner considering cultivating marijuana plants; or just an eager consumer, it is imperative to be aware of the impact of what is accelerated in light of when the overall bill goes in to effect, and what will and will not be legal and when.
