ARLINGTON, Va. (FOX 5 DC) — Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring announced his support for legalizing recreational marijuana in the Commonwealth in an op-ed over the weekend, vowing to work with Virginia leaders to take steps toward legalization.
Herring, a Democrat, is the first statewide official to call for legalization, while others have announced support for decrminialization.
Herring said laws criminalizing marijuana disproportionately affect African Americans and other people of color.
