Probably - but it won't be used to as murderous effect as if it had been left in cartel hands.

I assume that they kicked the can down the road on retail sales until 2024 simply because they did not yet have their act together on how they would regulate it.
But the net result will be a playground for cartels and MS-13 retailing in the meantime.
If DC or Maryland starts retail recreational sales, I’d bet Virginia’s timeframe would speed right up.
