Both of these pieces of legislation are now law and represent some progress with respect to managing the medical cannabis market and controlling for THC content in hemp products. I chair the Rehabilitation and Social Services Committee, the committee that oversees Cannabis legislation in the Virginia General Assembly. Although efforts were made to forge a recreational retail market for marijuana, Governor Youngkin is adamantly opposed to establishing such a market, so such efforts always find defeat in the Republican controlled House of Delegates."
