Frequently Asked Questions - After the Latest Adult-Use Bill VETO
Is the Roadshow still happening?
Yes. The Virginia Cannabis License Accelerator Tour is confirmed for October 5 to 9, 2026, running 2:00 PM to 8:00 PM in Abingdon, Roanoke, Richmond, Virginia Beach, and Arlington. Entry is free and capacity is limited, so register early to secure your spot.
Why did the tour move from May to October?
Following Governor Spanberger’s veto of House Bill 642 and Senate Bill 542, we rescheduled the tour rather than run it against an uncertain legislative backdrop. The additional months give us a clearer picture of where the legislation stands and let us deliver more useful, specific guidance when we are in the room with you. New dates are now locked in for October.
Governor Spanberger vetoed the bill. What's next?
The Governor vetoed the bill, but she also went on record saying she supports a legal cannabis market in Virginia.This is a disagreement about timing and regulatory structure, not a rejection of the market itself.
The General Assembly could pursue a veto override, which requires a two-thirds majority across the board. That option relies on support across the aisle to hit the threshold, and it has not been ruled out. If the override vote falls short, lawmakers are expected to reintroduce a stronger and more refined version of the bill.
Virginia’s cannabis market remains highly anticipated, and this step simply ensures we are building a more resilient industry. The bigger picture is that Virginia is a limited-license state, which means when that window opens, it is going to be competitive and it is going to move fast. The work you have done already puts you ahead for when the bill is signed.
What if the legislation still has not passed by October?
The tour goes ahead either way. Our sessions focus on the fundamentals that do not change with the legislative calendar: how limited-license applications are scored, what regulators expect from a complete application, how to structure your business and secure funding, and how to build the operational and compliance foundation you will need on day one. We will also give you the most current read on where the legislation stands at that moment.
I registered before the date change. Is my registration still valid?
Yes. All existing registrations carry over to the new October dates, and no action is required. If you need to change which city you are attending, contact your Account Executive or email info@canndelta.com and we will update it for you.
What happens to sponsorship commitments?
Our team is working directly with sponsors and partners to realign schedules to the October dates. If you have questions about your agreement or want to discuss participation, contact your Account Executive or email info@canndelta.com.
Can I still become a sponsor or exhibitor?
Yes. Sponsorship and exhibitor opportunities are still available. Email info@canndelta.com to discuss options.
What can I do to support legalization in the meantime?
We value the support of our community, sponsors, and attendees. You can reach out to the Virginia General Assembly directly, as communication to your state governance can apply pressure toward overturning the Governor’s veto.
There is a list of emails for all 140 members of the Virginia General Assembly. [download PDF here]
