A Virginia lawmaker's proposal to study the possibility of selling marijuana through state-run liquor stores has gone up in smoke.

The joint resolution from Del. David Englin of Alexandria was tabled Thursday night in a subcommittee of the House Rules Committee.

Under the resolution, members of the General Assembly would have studied the potential revenue impact of selling pot at Virginia's more than 330 ABC stores.

Another resolution to get the governor to petition the federal Drug Enforcement Agency to reclassify marijuana as a Schedule II drug also failed earlier this week.

Englin had cited states with medical marijuana laws, societal changes and the need for more revenue for the proposals.

Supporters of the proposals say they're not surprised by the outcome but glad the issue is getting attention.
