Cannabis legalization in Virginia

[Ninurta]

We make monthly trips to Illinois to buy recreational from a real nice dispensary. It's a little pricey and pay 30% sales tax, but it's worth the 2 and a half hour drive get something we can trust. These days, there is fentanyl is in everything. Getting ready to take a trip out west where it's legal in many states. Should be interesting to visit a cannabis friendly camp ground.

There are only 4 dispensaries in the entire state of VA, and I reckon they've got some kind of air-lock arrangement or something, as you have to have a medical card and be escorted into the inner chambers just to get into one. The nearest one to here is in Bristol, but I wouldn't travel there for it.

Of course, having a medical marijuana card marks and registers one as a "user", and given Northam's Marxist proclivities, it's probably a foregone conclusion that there go your firearms as soon as you get one.

One of the originally planned dispensaries here, up in the Shenandoah Valley, had some kind of unresolved legal ruckus with "producers", and did not get to open, so that area is not covered at all, and never will be I guess because the state closed licensing on 8 June. So we have 4, and I guess that's all we ever will have. All of them are too far to travel to, unless you plan on making a day of it.

Google listed one in Abingdon when I was researching this, but the state doesn't list it, and since the state issues licenses, I presume it's not legal, and so won't last long.

Like I said, the state did a piss poor job of planning this "legalization" thing out. I think it was more a publicity stunt than anything.

Or maybe just a cruel sort of trap.
