Virginia's Medical Cannabis Regulations for Retailers
Patients in the state of Virginia can apply for a medical cannabis card. Patients must receive a written certification from a registered practitioner and then apply for registration with the Board of Pharmacy before they can possess medical cannabis products.
Currently, THC-A and CBD oil can only be produced and sold in Virginia by “pharmaceutical processors,” which are specially licensed businesses. Only four pharmaceutical processors have been approved to produce and dispense these oils.
That said, CBD products have been marketed and sold throughout the state. From organic health food stores to gas stations, you may have seen products like CBD tea or CBD skin cream. This is because hemp production is legal in the state – and CBD can be derived from hemp.
The laws and regulations surrounding cannabis products are undoubtedly complex. If you are a retailer, it is in your best interest to consult with our lawyer, who can advise you accordingly. We can provide the customized counsel you need to grow your business.
Navigating Advertising Restrictions for Cannabis Retailers
In Virginia, it is illegal for anyone other than a pharmaceutical processor to advertise the sale or distribution of marijuana.
Certain digital platforms like Google have banned ads for marijuana. But what about other advertising options – like billboards, print ads, and web banner ads? As federal laws and state advertising regulations change, intersect, and contradict each other, businesses are left confused about what they can and cannot say in advertisements.
With our Roanoke cannabis retail lawyers on your side, you can better understand your rights and the legal limits of your marketing efforts.
