Haven’t been since they took over from Cannabist. Looking at the menu, I’m a bit annoyed to not find what I want. When The Cannabist was relatively new, I loved their vapes of Creativity, Focus (I think?) or Clarity. Mostly Sativa. My next bests were The Essence brand . Love Acapulco Gold. There were several others. Haven’t tried Savvy. Don’t care for the Airo line. Didn’t like having to buy a separate device and it went bad suddenly - wouldn’t charge anymore only after a brief time. Does anyone have suggestions here for someone looking primarily for sativa. I’m ADHD and haven’t been on prescription meds in some time. Sativa heavy strains were most helpful to me. I can get normal smoking weed all day long that will knock me off my ass but that’s not what I want. If you made it this long, thank you for your input! Lol!

It’s been some time since I’ve been to the dispensary, probably April maybe May. In the Cash stash App my last purchase isn’t in there, and I know for sure I used most of my points. But wondering if anyone else is having issues with it. I assume the app is still relevant with the switch to zen leaf.

and they say VA has the highest prices… will report back on the rosin 🤤

Highly suggest Banana Açaí cured sugar (50% off at $27.50) and Cookies Blackberry for $36 1/8th. Also grabbed new batch of Bernie Hanna (Cookies x AltSol), Paw Prints, Hindu Kush, some blunts, and a Cookies vape pen (I don’t remember price but it was solid). If you avoid Cookies because of the tax - this is the weekend to shop. Tomorrow they given out Cookies pre-rolls too. Your welcome.

Getting certified turned out to be the easy part for me. Finding a convenient dispensary is a different story depending on where you live.

Northern Virginia and Richmond seem to have several options, but some parts of the state still look pretty underserved.

How far do you normally have to drive, and which area are you coming from?

I’m curious where the biggest dispensary gaps still are in Virginia.

Can anyone suggest a quick cheap clinic to renew my mmj card. I can't remember where I got it.

They are promoting these "holiday deals" but it's the same bundle discounts as usual.

Anyone else have trouble accessing their medical card? The CCA portal does not let me create an account, it says my email is already in use but when I try to "reset" password it says no account exists. Its so frustrating! I'm just wondering if this is a random error or if others experienced this. What did you do to fix it and create an account?

Just picked this up at the Rise Danville and wooo boy! The wife and I are pretty veteran smokers, and at 43% this just laid the smacketh down. I’m 15 weeks post lumbar fusion and still in a shit ton of pain and this just did it. Feeling fine for a quick night out with the family. I’d definitely get this again and look forward to more infused grind options as a lead in my pain management regime. I’d go 8/10 on how I feel about 20 minutes after smoking.

Anybody having trouble with accessing the online menu for the Richmond Gleaf location? I usually order delivery and planned to put an order together for next month but after putting in my birthday and click shop medical it just goes to the same page it usually does but nothing loads or shows up. I tried the short pump and other locations and their menus popped up fine

Did I miss anything and the website is down or something?

Has anyone had this? If so how was it thanks

Key details of the compromise

• Retail launch date: July 1, 2027
• State cannabis tax: 6% at launch, rising to 8% after July 1, 2029. Localities may add a tax of 1% to 3.5%. This would be added to the existing state sales tax, which varies by region, but has a base of 5.3%. This would mean the initial tax rate would be between 12.3% and 14.8%.
• Licensing: Cap of 350 retail licenses statewide, but licenses will be phased in based on demand and geographic balance as determined by the Cannabis Control Authority (CCA).
• Public consumption penalty: $250 civil fine, delayed until July 2027 to allow time to assess potential disproportionate enforcement impacts.
• Product safety: Strict testing, labeling, and regulation of intoxicating hemp products sold outside licensed cannabis stores.
• 75% of first-year license fee revenue will go to the Cannabis Equity Business Loan Fund to help entrepreneurs in communities harmed by prior cannabis laws.
• Full criteria for impact licensees remain unchanged, but lawmakers will finalize specific fund allocation rules in next year’s session.
• Up to 100 microbusiness licenses may be issued by May 1, 2027, with each allowed to operate up to two locations.
• A five-year holding period for impact licenses to prevent predatory takeovers.
• Creation of a Cannabis Impact Business Support Team offering technical assistance to small and equity-owned businesses.

Hi I was curious if anyone has purchased the &Shine Cured concentrate and what their thoughts are on it despite being overpriced bho? Thanks in advance

Does this mean the dispensary is completely closed until they relaunch the 23rd (I think?) under the Zen Leaf brand? I usually preorder and schedule a pickup time if there’s something I’m interested in. Ty much!

My certification isn’t expired yet, but I’ve been wondering whether people usually renew a few weeks early or just wait until the expiration date gets close.

The original appointment was simple, so I’m not worried about the consult itself. I mainly don’t want to accidentally create a gap where the dispensary shows the certification as inactive.

For those who’ve renewed recently, how early did you do it? Did the new certification start immediately, or from the previous expiration date?

I’ll be by the blue ridge mountains in Patrick county. Any home cultivation events or places to check out for my birthday. Would love to just kick back and enjoy the peace for the weekend.

I stepped away from buying anything for a couple months because all the flower I tried was just garbage. But I'm craving some good bud , is there anything worth buying ? Looking for recommendations. Thanks in advance.

Random question does anyone know if Virginia accepts out of state medically cards, or do I need to get a temporary Virginia med card for the 4 days? I know sales for rec are on hold. Thought I would ask here first before calling the DOH?

Finally scratched this itch and made a review page. If you want to make suggestions or follow along my page is Hippieheadreviews on ig. Will start posting more on here soon.

They get our hopes up with every new governor but we keep getting fucked.
