A video visit with a Virginia-licensed practitioner. No conditions checklist, no office visit — just a straightforward path to same-day dispensary access.
Landstown itself has no dispensary, but Virginia Beach is home to Zen Leaf on Birdneck Road, reachable via Princess Anne Road or Dam Neck Road.
Virginia law permits registered patients to have medical cannabis delivered directly from a licensed dispensary.
Virginia resident, 18 or older, valid government-issued ID.
A CCA-registered practitioner evaluates you live — required by Virginia law, not a fixed conditions list.
Valid up to a year. Enough on its own for same-day dispensary access.
Booked between errands at Landstown Commons. Didn't expect to be certified before I'd even finished shopping.
Straightforward and quick. The practitioner explained everything clearly.
No pressure, no rush. Exactly the kind of visit I was hoping for.
The same terms apply no matter where in Virginia you live.
Book an AppointmentDirect from what the CCA publishes.
You meet with a CCA-registered practitioner over live video. They review your health history and decide, based on their own clinical judgment, whether cannabis might help. If so, your written certification is issued during that same call.
Virginia stopped requiring one on January 1, 2024. Code of Virginia § 54.1-3408.3 lets a CCA-registered practitioner certify any condition they personally believe cannabis may help, with no government checklist involved.
No. Virginia law is specific here — certifications require real-time interactive audiovisual telemedicine. Audio alone won't meet that bar.
No, it's optional. Your written certification and a valid ID are all a licensed dispensary needs to see — the CCA's card is a separate, later choice.
The practitioner platform sets and displays its consultation fee before you book. That's separate from the CCA's optional $50 registration fee, which most patients never pay at all.
You'll need another telehealth evaluation. If your practitioner renews it, the new certification is good for another full year from that visit.
Physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners can all issue certifications, provided they're licensed in Virginia and specifically registered with the CCA for the program.
Yes — up to 4 ounces within any 30-day window, which is more than Virginia's general adult possession limit. See the CCA's Patients & Caregivers page for current figures.
Unfortunately not. Virginia dispensaries only accept certifications issued by CCA-registered Virginia practitioners, regardless of what your home state allows.
Locals often call Landstown "the home of the sports complex" — both the Princess Anne Athletic Complex and the Virginia Beach Sportsplex, which includes an Olympic field hockey training center, sit within the area. Event schedules there can genuinely affect traffic on evenings and weekends.
Princess Anne Commons Gateway Park, within Landstown, is home to a public sculpture by artist Dale Eldred called the Light Garden, along with a half-mile multi-use path and playground — a quieter side of the area away from its retail corridor.
The intersection of Princess Anne Road and Dam Neck Road, where Landstown's main retail corridor sits, carries tens of thousands of vehicles a day. A midday visit tends to be a far easier drive than an evening one.
Landstown borders Green Run and Carriage Hill, and shares informal boundaries with Princess Anne and Salem nearby. Residents' sense of exactly where one name ends and another begins varies more than any map suggests.
This site is centered on Landstown, but Virginia's certification process is identical for any resident of the state, wherever you happen to live.
Landstown sits about 11 miles from the Oceanfront, southeast of Green Run and Carriage Hill, and is known locally as the home of the Princess Anne Athletic Complex and the Virginia Beach Sportsplex, which includes an Olympic field hockey training center. The area also includes Princess Anne Commons Gateway Park, home to a public sculpture by artist Dale Eldred called the Light Garden. For medical cannabis access, Landstown residents — and any Virginia resident, regardless of neighborhood — follow the same statewide process.
Since January 2024, Virginia hasn't maintained a fixed list of qualifying conditions. Under Code of Virginia § 54.1-3408.3, a CCA-registered practitioner certifies patients using their own clinical judgment during a live video visit.
Book a video visit with a CCA-registered practitioner. If approved, a written certification is issued immediately, valid for up to a year. That certification and a government-issued ID are enough to purchase at any licensed Virginia dispensary the same day. Full detail at the CCA's Patients & Caregivers page.
One video visit stands between you and a Virginia medical cannabis certification.
