Virginia Cannabis Regulator Posts Job Openings As Governor Considers Adult-Use Sales -

The Virginia Cannabis Control Authority has posted nearly a dozen new job openings as Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) considers signing a bill to legalize adult-use sales, Marijuana Moment reports.

The agency posted 11 full-time, salaried positions, including several director and administrative roles essential to launching a new industry.

The General Assembly passed a conference bill last month to legalize adult-use cannabis sales starting January 1, 2027, sending the proposal to Gov. Spanberger for her consideration.

Virginia’s previous governor, Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R), vetoed multiple attempts to establish an adult-use cannabis market.

But Spanberger said during last year’s gubernatorial campaign that she would sign a cannabis sales proposal as governor if one came across her desk.

The CCA job listings include:

Compliance and Enforcement Director
Licensing Director
Chief Licensing and Compliance Officer
Cannabis Equity Business Loan Administrator
Compliance and Enforcement Manager
Compliance and Enforcement Inspector
Senior Licensing Associate
Licensing Associates
Impact Business Support Specialist
Impact Business Support Team Manager
Talent and Acquisition Specialist

The listings also include a pool of adjunct instructors in agriculture and hospitality.

The governor has until April 13 to sign the bill, allow it to become law without her signature, or veto the proposal.
