Live Stoner Chat On the decriminalized and legalization of marijuana in Virginia

[Taino1171]

Heres the bill https://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?201+sum+HB972

The commonwealth is expecting its governor to sign the bill which will decriminalize marijuana and set the motion for discussing the legalization of it on November of this year. What I will do is that between the time northam signs house bill 972 and when the decriminalization takes effect on july 1st, I plan to create a petition with thousands of signatures to support not just the legal use of marijuana but also make it super easy to start a marijuana dispensary without all the expensive bullshit that California and other states implemented that requires you to pay 10k or more for a licence and others. For some who grow in virginia and have harvest when its legalized people should have the right to start selling it in parking lots and public areas like an Arabian or turkish bazaars.

You had me up until the last part. LOL. The legal theory for the restriction on who gets to sell legal cannabis are the same as those for who gets to produce and sell hard liquor. Lines can be drawn. You can make your own beer and wine, but God help you if they catch you making liquor, even a tiny amount. You would be a moonshiner, pure and simple. The BATF and local police went around to peoples homes a few years back based on sales records of some companies that were selling tiny “essential oils distilling systemS” so govern your actions AND your expectations accordingly
