Is THCA legal in Virginia?

Banned

Virginia treats high-THCA flower as illegal — reviewed vendors will not ship it there.

Purchase age
21+
Market status
medical

The caveats that matter

  • Dual test (0.3% total THC + 2 mg/package) makes essentially all THCA flower and concentrates illegal at retail
  • Fourth Circuit upheld SB 903 against Farm Bill preemption Jan 7, 2025 (Northern Virginia Hemp & Agriculture v. Virginia)
  • Adult possession/home-grow of marijuana is legal but there is NO retail recreational market; medical dispensaries are the licensed channel

Enforcement, in practice

Most aggressive mid-Atlantic enforcer: VDACS Office of Hemp Enforcement ran 424 inspections and issued $12.4M+ in fines in year one; penalties up to $10,000/day.
