Virginia Legislature Passes Marijuana Legalization Bills

Both chambers of Virginia's General Assembly have passed marijuana legalization measures. Two somewhat different bills got the green light Friday, with the House of Delegates voting 55-42 in favor of its measure, and the Senate passing one by a 23-15 majority. The differences between the bills now must be reconciled before a final piece of legislation goes to Gov. Ralph Northam for his signature.
