Book an AppointmentPrincess Anne itself has no dispensary, but Virginia Beach is home to Zen Leaf on Birdneck Road, reachable via Princess Anne Road or I-264.
Virginia law permits registered patients to have medical cannabis delivered directly from a licensed dispensary.
Straight from what the CCA publishes.
A CCA-registered practitioner evaluates you by live video and decides, using their own clinical judgment, whether your condition may benefit from cannabis. If approved, a written certification is issued the same visit. See the CCA's Patients & Caregivers page.
Not since January 2024. Under Code of Virginia § 54.1-3408.3, any CCA-registered practitioner can certify whatever condition they believe cannabis may help with.
Yes. Virginia law requires real-time interactive audiovisual telemedicine — a phone call alone doesn't qualify.
No. The CCA's patient card is optional and separate. Your written certification plus a valid ID is enough to purchase.
Consultation pricing is set by the practitioner platform and shown before booking. The CCA's $50 fee is a separate, optional charge.
Book another telehealth visit before your current certification expires. Renewal is valid for another year from that visit.

No. This site is centered here, but the process works identically for any Virginia resident, wherever in the state you are.
Princess Anne dates to 1691, when it became the seat of Princess Anne County — sometimes called "Princess Anne Courthouse" — a role it held until the 1963 merger with Virginia Beach. The 17th-century courthouse still stands near the junction of Princess Anne Road and North Landing Road.
The Virginia Beach Municipal Center — including city hall and most municipal offices — sits in Princess Anne, making it a major daily employment hub. Access runs mainly through two-lane roads, so traffic around typical office hours is a genuine local factor.
The district also includes Princess Anne Commons, home to the Virginia Beach Sportsplex, an amphitheater, and the Princess Anne Athletic Complex — meaning event traffic around evenings and weekends can meaningfully affect travel through the area.
Princess Anne marks a rough transition point — denser, more developed Virginia Beach to the north, lower-density areas farther south. Neighboring communities like Red Mill and Landstown share informal boundaries with the area rather than sharp official lines.
This site is centered on Princess Anne, but Virginia's certification process is identical for any resident of the state, wherever you happen to live or work.
Booked around my work schedule at the Municipal Center. Whole thing took about fifteen minutes.
Practitioner explained everything clearly and didn't rush. Certification came through right after.
Princess Anne dates to 1691, when Lower Norfolk County split and the eastern half became Princess Anne Shire, later Princess Anne County. The community served as county seat — often called Princess Anne Courthouse — from 1691 until the 1963 consolidation with Virginia Beach, and its 17th-century courthouse still stands near Princess Anne Road and North Landing Road. Today the area is home to the Virginia Beach Municipal Center and Princess Anne Commons, anchored by the Sportsplex and an amphitheater.
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.
