LeafLink’s Post

Virginia’s adult-use conversations are moving in a promising direction, and the Commission deserves real credit for its disciplined, data-driven approach. One major step forward is the Commission’s decision to reject local opt-outs. States that limit retail access often see illicit operators fill the gaps. As Delegates Paul Krizek and Will Morefield, along with Senator Lashrecse Aird, noted in their recent op-ed, allowing opt-outs is effectively opting into the illicit market.

We look forward to supporting the state as it drives this work forward. #LeafLink #VirginiaCannabis #CannabisPolicy #IllicitMarket #AdultUse
