First Southern State Legalizes Marijuana
Virginia legalized recreational marijuana late Wednesday night, making the state the first southern state to do so. . .
It's official—Virginia just approved historic legislation legalizing the simple possession of marijuana on July 1, 2021.
This is a monumental step to address racial disparities in our criminal justice system and build an equitable, inclusive future for our Commonwealth.

Both chambers of the state’s General Assembly passed the legislation back in February. Northam pressed the General Assembly to accelerate the schedule by three years so that individuals could begin having possession in July, according to Fox 5.
The General Assembly made the changes desired by Northam. The senate voted 20-20, with Democratic Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax breaking the tie and approving the changes, according to Fox 8.
The legislation allows adults over the age of 21 to possess up to one ounce of marijuana and would allow limited home cultivation. (Read more from “First Southern State Legalizes Marijuana” HERE)
