The June 2026 framework authorizes the Virginia Cannabis Control Authority (CCA) to begin accepting license applications on or after February 1, 2027 and issuing licenses on or after May 1, 2027. It also establishes five cultivation tiers with maximum canopies ranging from 5,000 to 35,000 square feet.
