We have always had this same end goal, an end goal that has been years in the making, so I am proud to stand alongside these dedicated legislators and to be working alongside them to deliver a marketplace built to last.

I am excited to stand alongside Sen. Lashrecse Aird and Del. Paul Krizek to announce that we have agreed to a proposal that will create a safe, legal, and well-regulated cannabis market here in the commonwealth of Virginia, with…
