Virginia passes cannabis legalization law, creating regulated market with retail sales starting November 2026.
Virginia’s General Assembly has passed legislation to create a regulated adult-use cannabis market, paving the way for legal sales by November 2026, pending Governor Abigail Spanberger’s signature.
The bill establishes the Cannabis Control Authority, sets a 10.5% state sales tax, and allows up to 350 retail licenses with a lottery system for equity-focused impact licenses.
It mandates product testing, age verification, and seed-to-sale tracking, while allowing at-home cultivation of up to four plants.
Local governments retain zoning authority but cannot ban retail stores.
The law transitions Virginia from legal possession without legal sales to a fully regulated system, following years of bipartisan effort and public input.
