Despite having a severely limiting medical program, the interest in medical cannabis in Virginia has certainly bloomed since its launch this year.
The next dispensary Green Leaf in Richmond is slated to open later this month so stay tuned!
There are a total of 9 licensed dispensaries in the state, 6 of which opened over the weekend.
