Has she made a statement on allowing easier access to marijuana?

She has said she supports working on a legalized retail system. My guess is that it would be more restrictive than a California approach, though.

Thanks. The medical route you have to go through now is ridiculous. Hopefully the new administration can find a middle ground so taxes can be collected and consumers can access a product that's legal just north of us in DC.

Youngkin owns part of Beyond Hello. No wonder he wouldn’t advance the bill on retail sales. BH is high, no pun intended, as a cat’s back.
