RICHMOND, Va. Virginia just took another step toward legalizing the sale of marijuana.
During his State of the Commonwealth address Wednesday, Governor Ralph Northam introduced his team’s legislation.
“We’ve done the research, and we can do this the right way: leading with social equity, public health and public safety, said Northam.
The proposed adult-use cannabis legislation would allow people ages 21 and older to sell marijuana beginning January 1, 2023.
Under the legislation, there will be five licenses to choose from: cultivation, processing, distribution, retail and testing.
Wallace L. Clement was like any Williamsburg resident.
He was originally from Cambridge, Mass. and settled in the Historic Triangle during the last 15 years of his life. He also had a wife and kids, loved history, and volunteered at Colonial Williamsburg as an interpreter.
Sean Heuvel also loved history and listening to stories, particularly the ones about Clement’s military career in the U.S. Army. Heuvel met Clement as a teenager. They lived in the same neighborhood, and Clement quickly became a role model to young Heuvel.
“He was very humble about his experience,” Heuvel said of his mentor. “But I was very taken by his example and how he treated people.”
