The House of Delegates and Senate can act on these Governor-proposed amendments on 4/7
So haven't heard a peep about this yet, when do expect news to break
bong is loaded, but will it be legal on 7/1
Well, we are still two days from April 7th which is when they reconvene and the first day they could vote on these amendments so ...
Sometimes there is chatter... is the gop planning to show zero support
The chatter is positive. They will get zero/one gop vote but the house (which is basically being asked to back the senates version of this) supposedly “has the votes.” I’d put odds at 85-90%.

OK, today is going to be interesting. This is legitimately imperiled. Dems hold Senate 21-19 and even though the amendments much more closely mimic what they passed earlier in the year, there are two reported no votes from the Dems: Joe Morrissey (Richmond) and Chap Petersen (Fairfax). Petersen seems legitimately opposed to legalization of weed. Morrissey is grandstanding for more sweeping criminal justice reform and removal of mandatory minimum sentences (something that cannot be addressed in an amendment session). Interesting to see where Morrissey goes.

Apparently two GOP Senators are going to vote for this so it's likely passing 21-19 even if Morrissey goes through with his protest vote.

House passed this pretty easily, like 53-44-2. Senate discussing now but they have the votes supposedly. Morrissey agreed to flip and even with no GOP, it'd be 20-20 with Fairfax casting a tiebreaker (and supposedly 2 GOP people will vote Yea).

Likely official in about an hour.

Senate went 20-20 with Fairfax passing it on tiebreaker. Morrissey could've fucked this all up. Love to be a fly on the wall to understand how they whipped him back in line.

grow too!
Marijuana will become legal in Virginia on July 1.

House and Senate have both now voted in favor of amendments Gov. Ralph Northam sent down allowing adults 21 and older to posses up to an ounce and home cultivation of up to four plants.

Retail sales still won't begin until 2024

Happy "you used to be a derelict, a loser, an addict, a creep, a low life, should be in jail . . . but now everyone can make bank off of you, so it's now ok" Day!

Go on, roll a blunt with 50 dollars worth of weed, that you paid 90 for after taxes.
