The development, enforcement, and regulation of the emerging Cannabis industry, is an important discussion in the Virgin Islands.

The mission of the Virgin Islands Department of Licensing & Consumer Affairs Office of Cannabis Regulations (OCR) is to allow for the beneficial use of cannabis in a regulated system safe for adult and sacramental users and for patients in alleviating symptoms caused by debilitating medical conditions and their medical treatments.

It envisions a future dedicated to protecting consumers and ensuring products that are safe, quality tested, and accurately labeled. The OCR began operations on January 3, 2022, with Adult-Use Legislation signed into law on January 18, 2023. Cannabis programs are forthcoming.
