Virginia Must Recognize Medical Marijuana's Legal Status and Stop Evicting Patients from Recovery Housing
AnxietyChronic PainInsomniaPTSDMajor Depressive Disorder
Summary

Virginia's new recovery residence certification law is forcing legal medical cannabis patients to choose between their prescribed medication and stable housing, creating an untenable situation for individuals in recovery. Medical marijuana is legal under federal law for qualified patients, yet recovery facilities are prohibiting its use despite its therapeutic validity for conditions like PTSD, anxiety, and chronic pain. This policy contradiction undermines addiction recovery efforts by destabilizing housing for patients legally using cannabis under medical supervision. Advocates argue that Virginia officials must align recovery residence standards with federal cannabis legality to strengthen, not weaken, the state's recovery system.
