"Virginia's July 2023 Laws: Impact on Dispensaries and What to Expect"

Virginia will implement new laws starting July 2023, including restrictions on hemp-derived products, age verification rules for accessing adult websites, tougher penalties for “swatting” calls, and allowing police chiefs to set curfews. The state will also ban foreign adversaries from buying farmland, expand the move over law, and establish a firearm safety device tax credit. Other new laws include banning modified blue headlights, punishing false 911 calls, and providing incarcerated people in solitary confinement with at least four hours of out-of-cell programmatic interventions or other congregate activities per day.
