After trading some gallows humor, James City County supervisors began grappling this week over how best to use their limited power to control future marijuana sales.
Local governments have no choice in the matter. The last General Assembly session authorized the state to issue up to 350 licenses across Virginia for stores to legally sell marijuana starting July 1, 2027.
Recreational marijuana use became legal for adults 21 and older in Virginia five years ago, but is still a federal crime.
Local governments like James City County are now discussing ordinances to leverage the limited control they will have going forward. No ordinances have been approved.
