State’s second medical marijuana dispensary opens in Richmond

Virginia’s second medical cannabis processor has opened in Richmond.
Green Leaf Medical of Virginia announced Nov. 27 that it has opened its doors to registered patients seeking treatment.
The medical marijuana dispensary is at 2804 Decatur St. in South Side.
“With another processor open here in Virginia, accessibility to treatment is even easier. This is exciting news for medical cannabis patients across the state,” Katie Hellebush, executive director of the Virginia Medical Cannabis Coalition, said in a statement.
Before visiting the facility, individuals must register as a patient with the state Board of Pharmacy. In Virginia, any diagnosed condition can qualify for medical cannabis treatment, as long as a registered practitioner issues a written certification, according to the coalition.
Virginia’s first dispensary opened in mid-October in Bristol, and others are scheduled to open in other parts of the state.
