Online Marijuana/THC Awareness Classes in Virginia

Need a marijuana or THC awareness class for a Virginia matter?

This Virginia landing page is here to help you understand local context—what’s legal, where risks arise, and what to verify with the requesting authority—before you choose a course length. Cannabis policy in Virginia continues to evolve, and acceptance of any education course is determined by the court, probation office, school, employer, or other authority that asked you to complete one. Use the guidance below to confirm required hours, delivery format (online vs. in‑person), deadlines, and documentation needs in Virginia.

Virginia allows certain adult personal cannabis behaviors while maintaining clear limits around public use and impaired driving. Adults 21+ may possess limited amounts in private and may “adult share” up to one ounce without payment; however, public consumption remains prohibited and can bring civil penalties that increase beginning July 1, 2027. Using or consuming marijuana in a motor vehicle on a public highway is illegal for drivers and passengers. Virginia law also creates an evidentiary inference of recent consumption in a vehicle if an open container is in the passenger area, cannabis has been at least partially removed, and the person shows physical signs consistent with use (odor alone is not enough). Driving under the influence of cannabis is prosecuted under Virginia’s DUI statute. There is no per‑se THC blood limit; instead, the standard is whether drugs—alone or combined with alcohol—impair the ability to drive safely. The Virginia DMV emphasizes that cannabis impairment varies by product, dose, and individual factors and that DUI of cannabis is a Class 1 misdemeanor. Retail marijuana sales are scheduled to begin in Virginia on July 1, 2027, under 2026 legislation. Until then, non‑medical retail sales remain illegal, and rules on possession, cultivation, and sharing continue to apply. For court‑ordered education tied to DUI or certain traffic‑related offenses, many Virginians interact with the Virginia Alcohol Safety Action Program (VASAP). VASAP operates through local ASAP offices and manages education, monitoring, and treatment referrals ordered by courts or the DMV. If your requirement runs through VASAP or a specific court order, get written confirmation before taking any outside online course.

Acceptance of any marijuana/THC awareness class in Virginia is set by the authority that assigned you the class—not by CourtCure. Before you enroll, contact the requesting court, probation officer, attorney, employer, school, or agency to confirm: required hours, whether online coursework is acceptable, any topic or provider restrictions, your due date, and what kind of completion document they expect. For DUI‑related cases and many traffic referrals, Virginia commonly routes participants through the Virginia Alcohol Safety Action Program (VASAP) and its local ASAP offices. Those programs have their own curricula and procedures, and outside online courses are typically not accepted unless the ASAP/court has expressly authorized them. If your situation involves public‑use citations, first‑offender dispositions, diversion, or an employer/school policy, requirements can differ. Always verify first, then select the matching CourtCure hour length.
