A telehealth visit with a Virginia-licensed practitioner is all it takes to find out if cannabis may help. If it can, your certification is issued the same day and works at the dispensary right here in town.
Book with a Virginia-licensed physician, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner who certifies for medical cannabis.
Go over your symptoms and what you've tried. Your practitioner decides whether cannabis may benefit you — Virginia has no fixed condition list.
It's valid for up to a year and lives in the CCA Portal. The dispensary scans its QR code along with your ID.
Once you're certified, there's more than one way to get what you need in Danville.
Stop by the licensed Danville dispensary with your certification and ID. A pharmacist is on staff to help.
Licensed dispensaries in the area offer delivery to certified patients. Check the dispensary's website for service areas.
Your practitioner can add a trusted person to your certification so they can pick up or receive products for you.
Virginia law allows adult-use retail sales to begin July 1, 2027, for adults 21+. Until then, a medical certification is the only way to buy from a licensed dispensary — and the medical program is set to continue afterward.

Delivery was the game changer for me. I don't drive much anymore, so being able to get things brought to the house matters.

No. Virginia removed the patient registration requirement. Your certification and a government-issued ID are what the dispensary needs.
