Verano

Wrapping up a wonderful month of Pride!🏳️🌈❤️   Our teams across the country celebrated Pride throughout June by decorating our stores, heading to Pride events, and honoring the LGBTQ+ community that helped pave the way for medical cannabis. In Chicago, employees held a Pride-themed happy hour that featured a fundraiser and raffle in support of Howard Brown Health, one of the nation's largest LGBTQ+ organizations. Amazing all around! 

We applaud Governor Spanberger and the Virginia General Assembly for the historic passage of a retail adult use cannabis marketplace, positioning Virginia as a regional leader as the first Southern state to officially create a legal cannabis market.    We’re grateful to Senator Lashrecse Aird, Delegate Paul Krizek, and the Governor for their leadership in legalizing adult use cannabis, which will deliver significant economic benefits for the Commonwealth in the form of revenue, job creation, and ancillary spending from dispensary customers that often supports other local businesses. As we have in other states, Verano will leverage our deep experience transitioning markets from a medical only marketplace to an adult use market, and will work collaboratively with state officials, the Cannabis Control Authority, and local municipalities to ensure a successful program implementation and launch on July 1, 2027.
