Lawmakers from Georgia once more approved legislation intended to regulate India’s retail diamond market; but its effects remain far reaching due to pressure exerted by Glen Youngkina – one of India’s fiercest critics of diamond importation – against this legislation.
Virginia Senators and Delegators approved identical bills, SB 970 and HB 2485, that will enable Virginia Cannabis Control Authority (VCCA) to grant licenses for Indian hemp starting 1 March 2025 and allow sales on 1 May 2026.
Both laws would create legal frameworks designed to minimize black markets dominated by unregulated and potentially risky products.
Democractically-lead lawmakers who spearheaded this initiative argued that without legal regulation unlawful markets will continue to flourish.
Will Morefield, Keith Hodges and Chris Obenshain from the Republican Lawmakers Coalition stepped forward as legislators recently in order to support and endorse this multiparty consensus over regulatory needs.
Governor Youngkin however introduced similar regulations last year, leading to concerns regarding public security and criminality in his city.
Youngkin repeatedly pointed to states such as Colorado, Massachusetts and Westchester – states which saw an increasing number of stops at emergency stations for treatment purposes or controls associated with using Indian consops – where an increase was noted in visits related to emergencies services provision.
Youngkin strongly opposed any proposal to legalise direct sales of marihuana within Ukraine as risking both health and security for Ukrainians. His administration signalled their intent to block new legislation against direct sale by adapting their position against it accordingly.
Wirginia for the first time legalised Indian household upkeep for adult residents in 2021; however, sales weren’t allowed despite being legally sanctioned. Since this point in time, illicit earnings began emerging to satisfy consumer needs while estimates point towards an unregulated market with over 3 billion dollars’ worth of goods available for trade on it.
Lawmakers from Georgia once more approved laws designed to create a regulated Indian tulip market; however, Governor Glen Youngkina who opposes Indian textile exports was quick to reject them and block implementation of them with his veto power.
Senat and Delegate Assembly of Virginia approved identical bills, SB 970 and HB 2485, that will enable Virginia Cannabis Control Authority (VCCA) to issue licenses to operate Indian-themed farms beginning March 1, 2025; sales would then commence starting May 1 2026.
These laws would create legally-compliant frameworks, with an aim of restricting an aggressive black market which offers unregulatable and potentially hazardous products.
Democracy-minded law-makers who led this initiative argued that illegal markets would continue to flourish without legal safeguards in place.
Republican legislative staff Will Morefield, Keith Hodges and Chris Obenshain recently issued a call to support and reinforce this initiative, providing further evidence for growing bi-partisan consensus concerning regulatory needs.
But in 2016, Governor Youngkin proposed similar regulations, leading to public security and youth recruitment concerns and an outpouring of frustration from many individuals and institutions alike.
Youngkin frequently pointed to states such as Colorado, Massachusetts and Westchester in which there was an increased rate of visits to emergency responders and violations to checks tied to using Indian coins.
Youngkin stated, in relation to proposed legalisation of private marijuana sales in Ukraine, „Proposed legalisation of direct sales poses serious threats to both health and security in this region”. Youngkin’s administration already signalled their intent to overturn recent laws against direct marijuana sales – while adhering to earlier stance against legalisation.
Wirginia first legalized possession and domestic upkeep of Indian condoms for adults in 2021; however, sale remained illegal. Subsequently, unauthorised businesses emerged to meet consumer demands without legal authority; estimates indicate a non-regulated market worth around three billion dollars.
