Delaware Marijuana Meetings Set for Legalization Discussions

House Bill 110 would legalize the recreational use of marijuana for adults ages 21 and older in Delaware. The legislation was introduced by a group of 14 lawmakers statewide. Less than an ounce of marijuana for personal use would be permitted and there would be a regulatory/taxation system setup.

Delaware is seeking to regulate marijuana similarly to alcohol, according to Dover Post. HB 110 is also known as the Delaware Marijuana Control Act. Meetings are scheduled later this week to advocate support of the bill. The goal of the meetings is also to educate the public and answer questions that they might have regarding marijuana and legalization.

Meetings:

• April 8 – Bear Public Library, Smyrna Public Library and South Coastal Public Library at 10 a.m. at teach location
• April 9 – Smyrna Public Library and Georgetown Public Library at 10 a.m. At Hockessin Public Library at 2 p.m.

By attending these meetings, attendees will learn some of the proposals included in House Bill 110, including some of the framework expected such as penalties for stepping outside of the regulatory guidelines, taxation, tracking and controlling sales. Those with questions regarding recreational marijuana legalization or who just don’t understand much about marijuana are encouraged to attend.
