Medical cannabis program; product labels, delivery.
Summary
Medical cannabis program; product labels; delivery. Changes the requirements for what is included on medical cannabis product labels affixed by pharmaceutical processors to include (i) the total milligrams of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) included in the edible cannabis product or topical cannabis product, both defined in the bill; (ii) the number of milligrams of THC and CBD in each serving of the edible cannabis product or topical cannabis product; and (iii) the total percentage of THC and CBD included in the inhalable cannabis product, defined in the bill. Under current law, the product label of any medical cannabis product is required to include the total percentage and milligrams of THC and CBD included in the product and the number of milligrams of THC and CBD in each serving.The bill also allows a pharmaceutical processor or cannabis dispensing facility to dispense or deliver cannabis products in person to a patient or such patient's registered agent, parent, or legal guardian at any residence, including a temporary residence or business. However, the bill prohibits dispensing or delivering cannabis products to (a) any military base, child day center, school, or correctional facility; (b) the State Capitol; or (c) any public gathering places, including sporting events, festivals, fairs, races, concerts, and terminals of public transportation companies. The bill also specifies that all transportation or delivery of usable cannabis, botanical cannabis, cannabis oil, or cannabis products, whether by an employee or delivery agent, shall comply with all relevant laws and regulations and provides that the Board of Directors of the Virginia Cannabis Control Authority may suspend or revoke the privileges of any employee or delivery agent to transport or deliver such products for failure to comply. The bill also provides that the 12-month stability testing period for medical cannabis products begins on the date the cannabis product is tested, rather than the date of product registration approval and that any medical cannabis product with an expiration date exceeding 12 months shall be supported by stability testing measured from the testing date, rather than the date of product registration approval. The bill contains technical amendments.

MINOR
The bill text was converted from an 'Engrossed' draft version to an 'Enrolled' final version, marking its approval by the General Assembly. While the core policy language regarding medical cannabis definitions, permit limits, and product labeling appears consistent, the Enrolled version includes specific formatting adjustments, such as adding page numbers and a chapter title, and correcting minor typographical errors found in the draft.
TECHNICAL
The document header was updated from 'Engrossed' to 'Enrolled' to reflect final legislative approval, and page numbering was added throughout the text.
Minor typographical corrections were made, such as changing 'discernable' to 'discernible' in the product labeling requirements and fixing a typo in the permit expiration section.
A formal chapter title, 'An Act to amend and reenact §§ 4.1-1600, 4.1-1602, and 4.1-1603 of the Code of Virginia, relating to medical cannabis program; product labels; delivery,' was added to the Enrolled version.
