A Virginia lawmaker's proposal to study the idea of selling marijuana through state-run liquor stores has failed. The joint resolution from Delegate David Englin of Alexandria was tabled on a voice vote Thursday night in a subcommittee of the House Rules Committee.

Englin, who does not use marijuana, cited states with medical marijuana, changing social atittudes, and the need for more revenue in his pursuit for the bill.
