RICHMOND, Va. - Virginia Governor Ralph Northam amended legislation to accelerate the legalization of marijuana possession and home cultivation in the state to July as opposed to 2024.
“Virginia will become the 16th state to legalize marijuana - and these changes will ensure we do it with a focus on public safety, public health and social justice,” Northam stated in a release.
The governor proposed changes to House Bill 2312 and Senate Bill 1406, which passed earlier this year during the Virginia General Assembly’s special session. The bills legalized marijuana possession and sales by January 1, 2024, but marijuana legalization advocates and Democratic lawmakers lobbied to push up the date for possession.

Charniele Herring (D-Alexandria) along with a large coalition of Democrats introduced the House companion, House Bill 2312 (HB2312), the following week. The legislation would legalize marijuana for adult use, despite ongoing federal cannabis prohibition.
Under the proposed law as passed by the legislature, adults 21 and older could purchase and possess up to 1 ounce of marijuana and cultivate up to four plants without penalty. The legislation would also create a regulatory scheme for the commercial cultivation and retail sale of cannabis. The proposed law would establish an independent agency called the Virginia Cannabis Co
