Marijuana Officially Legal in VA

[Anonymous]

Big question to me is who will be the first jurisdiction in our area to have retail sales. I’m betting on NJ.

I actually don’t think it will change much. It’s still prohibited to be sold, except by permit which are not available, also prohibited for use in public spaces and college campuses. You also cannot use it and retain a security clearance.

Doubt the number of marijuana related arrests will decline.

Maryland is actually first, but you need a state medical marijuana card. I’ve been told that they are relatively easy to get, but as with everything in Maryland they prefer to make things more complicated than they need to be.

There is no police department in VA that operates like the MPD. Fairfax County PD are pretty notorious for being the opposite of MPD.

MD does not sell recreational marijuana, that is what VA has approved - similar to CO. They currently have the same medical sale requirements as VA does currently. Both have retail stores and require medical cards for purchase.

Retail stores are already open in both VA and MD if you have a medical MJ card.

But what if you don’t have any sort of medical condition or malady that is treatable with MJ? What do you do if you’re healthy and just want to get stoned? What are you supposed to do then? Because those people are just SOL it seems.

The stores might have a list of doctors who will happily prescribe cannabis for headaches or stress or anything.

What do you do if you’re healthy and just want to get stoned?

For now, get it in DC. At least it will be legal when you possess it and use it in VA.

PP meant recreational. No MM card required. When are recreational stores coming?
