Weed is legal here today in Virginia, but it comes with a ton of new rules and possible incarcerations.

It was a half-assed effort that was pressed on the current gov. He originally signed legalization but put it out somewhere in 2024, which is insane. Activists put on a ton of pressure and got what we have now:

-Grow 4 plants at home
-Possession of 1oz is legal, but only if it's not in plain sight and not outside of the trunk of your car when driving
-Smoking is legal on your private property, not in public, not on HUD property

Legalization came with a bunch of new driving laws that allow cops to pull someone over for smoking claiming they thought it might be weed. Juveniles also have incredibly stiff penalties for any amount of weed, including being labeled a delinquent, having driver license taken, subjected to drug screening, and possibly incarcerated.

Good steps, but there is a lot more to do including the big one- releasing everyone in prison on weed charges.

- It sounds like a great excuse to stop and search a bunch of minorities. -- nm - con_carne Jul 1, 09:43
- I see it like alcohol rules. No open containers within reach of the driver. So a locked glove box or trunk. -- nm - sycor Jul 1, 08:41
- It’s really hard to drive your car from the trunk. -- nm - Mop, Montreal Canadiens Fan Jul 1, 08:40 1
  - If you have a hatchback, the whole interior of the car *is* the trunk! -- nm - JaxSean Jul 1, 08:47
- We have similar rules here. When it became law in IL I bought a lockable "pack" that can carry it. I think we have to have it locked but I don't - oblique Jul 1, 08:40
- Otherwise drivers might be tempted! -- nm - Spawn Jul 1, 08:38
As a non-smoker, just curious, is an ounce a lot? -- nm - sycor Jul 1, 08:34 12
- I googled and found this. -- (pic) - JaxSean Jul 1, 08:40 [Attachment] 5
  - That's about right though you're getting two small/skinny joints for just one gram. - Krusty Jul 1, 09:34 3
    - holy crap -- nm - mud Jul 1, 09:39 2
      - It varies as I don't weigh it each time. - Krusty Jul 1, 09:47

  - Okay yeah that helps ton. Yay visual aids. I just didn't want to google it on my work computer. -- nm - sycor Jul 1, 08:43
- yes its quite a lot. even for a heavy smoker. -- nm - Jovian Jul 1, 08:36 5
  - It's really not a lot. -- nm - Krusty Jul 1, 09:31 2
    - He means for normal folk. -- nm - Spawn Jul 1, 09:33 1
      - It's a lot for a weekend/holiday smoker, true. Not for someone that partakes regularly. - Krusty Jul 1, 09:37
  - Okay I was trying to figure out how silly it might be to allow 4 plants but 1 oz. I'm terrible at guessing weights. - sycor Jul 1, 08:38 1
    - My friend grows 4 plants and gets 22 oz's total from each grow. That's indoors and limited in height by his grow tent. -- nm - Krusty Jul 1, 09:46
