"His comments come after the administration spoke out against the sole surviving bill to legalize cannabis sales for adults age 21 and over, which failed in a Republican-controlled House subcommittee on Tuesday. Speaking to reporters after an event at Richmond’s Westwood Fountain on Thursday, the Republican said his priority remained cracking down on intoxicating hemp products like Delta-8. He said it was up to lawmakers to come up with a plan for a legal cannabis market."
