We’ve had a lot of customers asking:
“What does the Virginia cannabis veto mean for Redfern H**p Co. and Redfern Market?”
The honest answer:
Right now, we are STILL HERE, STILL OPEN, and STILL FIGHTING for the products our community relies on every single day.
Governor Abigail Spanberger’s veto stopped a recreational ma*****na retail bill from moving forward in Virginia. While this does create uncertainty across the cannabis and h**p industries, it does NOT mean Redfern H**p Co. or Redfern Market are going anywhere.
What it DOES mean is:
🌱 Virginia’s h**p industry is still in a critical moment
🌱 Small businesses like ours must continue advocating for fair regulations
🌱 Customers, farmers, veterans, parents, pet owners, and everyday Virginians who rely on h**p products still need their voices heard
For us personally, this isn’t about “getting rich off cannabis.”
This is about:
• The customer who finally found relief and can sleep again
• The veteran managing stress and pain naturally
• The amputee dealing with phantom pain
• The dog owner helping their aging pet stay comfortable
• The local jobs, farms, and families connected to this industry
Redfern H**p Co. was built by Virginians, for Virginians.
No matter what happens politically, we will continue:
✔ Educating
✔ Advocating
✔ Farming
✔ Creating products we believe in
✔ Fighting for responsible h**p access in Virginia
The biggest thing customers can do right now is stay informed and stay vocal. Legislators need to hear REAL stories from REAL people — not just corporations and lobbyists.
We truly appreciate every single person who supports local h**p, local agriculture, and small businesses like ours. Your support means more now than ever.
