The decisions came after County Attorney E.M. Wright Jr. outlined the county’s authority under the state’s retail marijuana framework. Although local governments cannot prohibit licensed marijuana businesses, Wright said Buckingham can regulate certain aspects of their operations, including hours of sale and zoning, while the state will oversee licensing and enforcement. He noted that the Town of Dillwyn, as an incorporated municipality, would be responsible for making its own regulatory decisions. Supervisors also designated County Administrator Karl Carter to receive notices of state license applications and directed him to develop recommendations for permitted sales hours.
