Virginia

SB 542 / HB 642

SB 542 and HB 642 were vetoed by Governor Abigail Spanberger. Both bills posed a significant threat to the Virginia hemp industry by imposing a 2mg THC limit per package and establishing a retail cannabis market in which the Virginia government will exercise control over market participants. If enacted, these bills would have had a profoundly negative impact on numerous beneficial natural hemp wellness products currently available in Virginia, effectively shutting down the hemp industry in the state.
