RICHMOND, (Va.) - A spokesperson says Gov. Ralph Northam (D-Virginia) is in the process of reviewing a series of medical cannabis bills that advocates say expand access for Virginians.

By the end of the year, five medical cannabis dispensaries will have opened in the Commonwealth. Those dispensaries will be keeping a close eye on SB 1557, which is making its way to the Governor's desk. The bill would expand products from CBD and THC-A oils to full therapeutic-strength formulations that could be available in creams and lozenges.
