Virginia Senate Approves Legislation to Prohibit Police Stops Based on Cannabis Odor

The Virginia Senate approved legislation Aug. 28 that would prohibit police stops based on cannabis odor, according to a WDVM report.

Senate Bill 5029 would outlaw search and seizures based on the smell of cannabis alone, the news outlet reported, in an effort to combat racial disparities in cannabis-related arrests.

The bill now heads to the House of Delegates for consideration.
