Virginia Law

A. The Board may issue microbusiness licenses, which shall authorize the licensee to conduct any activities authorized for marijuana cultivation facilities pursuant to § 4.1-800, marijuana processing facilities pursuant to § 4.1-801, and retail marijuana stores pursuant to § 4.1-802, as determined by the Board; however, (i) a microbusiness license shall authorize the licensee to cultivate marijuana indoors or outdoors with an indoor canopy that does not exceed 5,000 square feet and an outdoor canopy that does not exceed 10,000 square feet, or such other comparable limits as the Board may establish by regulation and (ii) a microbusiness licensee shall not hold or control any other license and may operate only one licensed premises.

B. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a microbusiness licensee may conduct authorized activities at no more than two separate locations within the Commonwealth, provided that (i) each location is appropriately zoned and approved by the locality in which it is located; (ii) the locations are within 20 miles of one another; (iii) all locations operate under the same microbusiness license and common ownership and control; and (iv) no single license privilege, such as cultivating, processing, or retail sales, shall be exercised at more than one location.

C. Unless otherwise provided by law or the Board, a microbusiness licensee shall be subject to the same statutory requirements and regulations as marijuana cultivation facilities, marijuana processing facilities, and retail marijuana stores, including requirements for (i) tracking all marijuana, marijuana products, immature marijuana plants, or marijuana seeds in accordance with § 4.1-611 and (ii) ensuring all areas within the licensed premises of the microbusiness meet all sanitary and security standards specified in regulations adopted by the Board.
