BioTrack in Virginia 101

BioTrack is the official statewide track-and-trace system for Virginia's medical cannabis program. The Virginia Cannabis Control Board oversees the state's cannabis programs

In 2018, Virginia's cannabis legalization progressed with the passing of House Bill 1251, which enabled medical patients to access cannabis with recommendations from registered medical practitioners. Medical marijuana cardholders to purchase licensed cannabis legally in the state.

In 2021, cannabis legalization took a major leap forward, reflecting the will of about 68% of Virginia voters who supported adult-use legalization. The original plan to legalize cannabis by 2024 was expedited through amendments to Senate Bill 1406 and House Bill 2312, advancing the legalization of home cultivation and personal use to July 1, 2021. This legislation authorized the taxation and regulation of marijuana for adults over 21, although retail sales were scheduled to begin in mid-2024, though they have not yet begun.

To oversee the cultivation, production, and sale of cannabis, the Virginia Cannabis Control Authority (VCCA) was established.

Approved Virginia cannabis license holders must implement and stay compliant with BioTrack.
