Working to Reform Marijuana Laws in the State of Virginia

---

Bill Introduced to Study Selling Marijuana in Virginia ABC Stores!

 

Yes, you read that right -- a Virginia politician wants to study full-scale legalization through the existing ABC stores!

 

House Joint Resolution 140, introduced by Delegate David Englin of Alexandria, would establish a joint study committee that "shall examine the feasibility and practicality of selling marijuana under the restrictions and conditions as allowed by law, the impact of these sales in Virginia's ABC stores and on its patrons, as well as the potential revenue impact upon the Commonwealth."

 

Write to Delegate Englin and thank him for his bill!

 

Then contact your delegate now with NORML's Action Alert form and tell them to support HJR 140!

 

The bill has been assigned to the House Rules Committee, and will likely face a hearing in subcommittee on a Thursday in the next few weeks. We will let you know when that hearing is so you can come, pack the hearing room, and show our politicians that we mean to change the law!

 

The following is a list of the members of the Rules Committee. Write them and tell them to vote for HJR 140! Make some noise!
