Cannabis in Virginia is legal for medical use and recreational use. The first medical marijuana dispensary opened in August 2020, and adult recreational use became legalized in July 2021. In April 2020, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam approved a bill to decriminalize simple marijuana possession, which took effect July 1, 2020. In February 2021, both houses of Virginia's General Assembly passed legislation to fully legalize cannabis, with an effective date of 2024. On April 7, 2021, the legislature approved amendments made by Northam; the most notable change had legalization begin July 1 of the same year, much sooner than the bill's original 2024 effective date. The new law allows adults (aged 21 and over) to possess up to 1 ounce (28 g) of marijuana, to cultivate up to four plants per hous

| - Cannabis in Virginia is legal for medical use and recreational use. The first medical marijuana dispensary opened in August 2020, and adult recreational use became legalized in July 2021. In April 2020, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam approved a bill to decriminalize simple marijuana possession, which took effect July 1, 2020. In February 2021, both houses of Virginia's General Assembly passed legislation to fully legalize cannabis, with an effective date of 2024. On April 7, 2021, the legislature approved amendments made by Northam; the most notable change had legalization begin July 1 of the same year, much sooner than the bill's original 2024 effective date. The new law allows adults (aged 21 and over) to possess up to 1 ounce (28 g) of marijuana, to cultivate up to four plants per household, as well as "adult sharing" of marijuana where there is no concurrent commercial transaction. The bill does, however, contain a "re-enactment clause" on the retail sales provisions which do not go into effect in 2021; as a result, Virginia lawmakers will have to approve them again during their general session next year, after the 2021 Virginia elections. Virginia is the first state in the southern United States to legalize adult-use cannabis (the first jurisdiction in the South to legalize being the District of Columbia). (en)
