Delaware Governor Carney Embraces Marijuana Legalization

Delaware Governor John Carney has allowed bills to legalize marijuana and create a recreational industry to become law without his signature, making Delaware the 22nd state to legalize recreational marijuana. Carney still believes legalizing weed is “not a step forward” but said he could not sign these bills due to his concerns about the health consequences recreational marijuana will have on children, as well as roadway safety. Delawareans will not be able to purchase recreational weed in The First State for at least 16 months.
