Terpenes are organic compounds that are found in many plants, including cannabis. These compounds are responsible for the plant’s distinctive aroma and flavor, and they may also have therapeutic properties. Here are some of the top terpenes found in cannabis:

1. Myrcene: This is the most abundant terpene found in cannabis. It has a musky, earthy aroma and is believed to have sedative and pain-relieving properties.
2. Limonene: This terpene has a citrusy aroma and is found in the rinds of citrus fruits. It is believed to have mood-enhancing and anti-inflammatory properties.
3. Pinene: This terpene has a piney aroma and is found in many coniferous trees. It is believed to have anti-inflammatory and bronchodilatory properties.
4. Linalool: This terpene has a floral aroma and is found in lavender. It is believed to have sedative and anti-anxiety properties.
5. Caryophyllene: This terpene has a spicy, peppery aroma and is found in black pepper and cloves. It is believed to have anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties.
6. Humulene: This terpene has an earthy, woody aroma and is found in hops. It is believed to have anti-inflammatory and appetite-suppressing properties.
7. Terpinolene: This terpene has a woody, herbal aroma and is found in many herbs and spices, including sage and cumin. It is believed to have sedative and anti-anxiety properties.

2021 Legislative Changes

The 2021 General Assembly session resulted in several changes to the pharmaceutical processor program.  Of most interest to patients registered for medical cannabis products are changes made as a result of HB1988 and SB 1333.  You may find information on both of these bills here: https://virginiageneralassembly.gov/.  

Botanical Cannabis

Botanical cannabis will become available for dispensing from a pharmaceutical processor dispensary or a cannabis dispensing facility to a patient that maintains a valid written certification for the use of medical cannabis and registration with the Board of Pharmacy (BOP). Regulations are currently being developed to support this allowance and are expected to be implemented by September, 2021.  Botanical cannabis may be dispensed once the regulations are in place and products are available. No more than four ounces of botanical cannabis shall be dispensed for each 30-day period. Any dispensed botanical cannabis is calculated into the total 90-day supply of medical cannabis products that may be obtained. You do not need a new or different registration card to obtain botanical cannabis. 

Written Certifications

As a reminder, written certifications are valid for no more than 12 months from the date of issuance. If your written certification has, or is about to expire, contact a registered practitioner for information on how to obtain a new written certification. Failing to maintain a valid written certification is non-compliant with board regulation and will jeopardize your ability to obtain medical cannabis products from a dispensary. The renewed written certification does not need to be submitted to the Board but must be presented to the pharmaceutical processor when obtaining medical cannabis products.

Pharmaceutical Processors

Currently, there are 4 permitted pharmaceutical processors. All four processor dispensaries are open for dispensing medical cannabis products to registered patients. These pharmaceutical processors are: Dharma Pharmaceuticals, LLC, Abingdon; Columbia Care Eastern Virginia, LLC, Portsmouth, Dalitso, LLC, Manassas and Green Leaf Medical of Virginia, Inc., Richmond.
