Tell VA to Legalize It Right

Build a Fair Cannabis Market for Virginia

Cannabis legalization is coming to Virginia — and we can define who truly benefits!

For too long, big multi state corporations have swooped in to take over new cannabis markets, pushing out small farmers and local entrepreneurs. Virginia has a chance to write a different story — one rooted in fairness, opportunity, and repair.

Legalizing it RIGHT means:

  • Creating a competitive adult-use retail market that uplifts Virginia’s small businesses and farmers, not just out-of-state corporations.

  • Ensuring those directly impacted by the war on drugs have real pathways to ownership, jobs, training, and long-term success in this new industry.

  • Building a local economy where the profits stay in our communities — creating jobs, strengthening rural economies, and small farmers.

  • Designing policies that promote fair market access and resist monopolies, prevent predatory loopholes, and encourage community reinvestment.

By signing this petition, you’re telling Virginia’s legislators to Legalize It Right! 

Why is this important?

For decades, people and neighborhoods were targeted for arrests and labeled criminals, resulting in lives ruined, families broken, and communities destroyed.  True legalization means more than just legal sales; it means repairing the harm and ensuring that those same people have a fair shot to thrive.

A Virginia cannabis market built the right way can be a model for the nation: community-owned, locally grown, and centered on equity.

When you sign, you’re not just supporting legalization — you’re standing for economic justice, small business growth, and real opportunity for every Virginian.

Let’s Legalize It Right — and make sure the future of cannabis in Virginia belongs to the people, not the corporations.
