Virginia's Medical Cannabis Program.
As of July 1st 2020, the use of Medical Cannabis is now legal in the state of Virginia. In order to access Medical Cannabis from one of the state’s dispensaries, you first need to receive certification from a physician registered with the Virginia Board of Pharmacy, such as Chinwe John, MD, who is a Board Certified Physician.
Virginia has given permission to the 5 currently approved state dispensaries, to open more branches around the state. In time, this should help make the process of obtaining Medical Cannabis more accessible to the patients who need it.
There have been updates such as a change to the allowed milligram content of THC per dose of Medical Cannabis. If you would like to know more about the Virginia Medical Cannabis program, please contact the practice at 703 597 4804 to schedule a consultation. Stay safe and healthy.
