Gov. Glenn Youngkin vetoed legislation that would have established a legal marijuana market in Virginia
Marijuana has been legal in Virginia since 2021, but the state has yet to establish a legal commercial market after the initial law. Youngkin blasted the proposal as a danger to the health and safety of the state in a lengthy veto statement on Thursday.
He also argued that the bill failed to address concerns about the illegal marijuana market and said the Old Dominion should not follow “the failed paths of other states.”
