Community Conversations: Pros and Cons of Marijuana Legalization

In July, 2021, Virginia became one of the 18 states (plus D.C.) that legalized the use of recreational marijuana. It also joined the 35 other states (plus D.C.) that have legalized the medical use of cannabis.

Hear from business owners, legal experts, and medical experts as we explore what recreational and medical legalization could mean for Virginia. You’ll also have a chance for tabletop discussion with other members on this topic.
