If it’s Gleaf, they get dragged by the local cannabis community. Overpriced, dry weed, just like a state run dispensary. If you are looking for medicine I’d just hit up homegrown or happy trees for events they host to trade for something way more worth it

Obviously you have options on where to get weed. I’m just glad that VA even allows dispensaries to sell medical cannabis bc you have to start somewhere…. This is Virginia after all.

If by starting somewhere you mean the State has given 5 licenses out to 5 separate companies to have a monopoly over the state until 2024. It gets better though, Columbia Care got the Beach region and then bought gLeaf last year, meaning Columbia Care owns ALL sales from RVA to the VB.

The only thing they did that was remotely in the right direction was allowing personal grows at home with no cap on how much you are allowed to possess in your home.

That true, it’s definitely a step in the right direction but I just hate how’s they are making it like ABC stores, just a monopoly instead of letting craft brands do their thing and have more of a variety
