"I successfully sponsored SB 788 - a bill that transfers authority for operating the Medical Cannabis Program from the Board of Pharmacy to the Cannabis Control Authority, and; I was a conferee on SB 903 - a bill that regulates THC in hemp products and includes requirements for packaging, labeling, testing and penalties. 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.
