Virginia Cannabis Legalization 2025: Stuck in Limbo Under Youngkin’s Veto Power
Virginia Cannabis Legalization remains in a state of limbo. While adults 21 and older can legally grow, possess, and consume cannabis, they have no legal avenue to purchase it within the state. This predicament stems from a 2021 legalization bill signed by former Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam, which required reenactment to establish a regulated market. However, Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s opposition to cannabis reform has stalled further progress.
