The History of Delaware Marijuana
In May 13th 2011, Delaware passed SB 17, legalizing medical marijuana in the state. The state awarded a single dispensary license to First State Compassion Center which has been operational since June 26th, 2015.
In December of 2015, the Department of Health decided to begin accepting Request For Proposals (RFP) for the Registration and Operation of a Medical Marijuana Compassion Center to produce, process and sell medical marijuana in Kent and Sussex County. RFPs were accepted until 11:00 AM on March 30, 2016. The state is not currently accepting any applications for marijuana businesses.
House Bill 374, a bill to add glaucoma and chronic debilitating migraines to the list of qualifying conditions for medical marijuana treatment, was signed into law by Governor John Carney on September 8, 2018 and is effective immediately.
Qualifying Medical Conditions: Alzheimer’s disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Cachexia, Cancer, Chronic pain, Chronic debilitating migraines, Glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, Nausea, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Seizures, Severe and persistent muscle spasms.
In January 2018, the Delaware Adult Use Cannabis Task Force was tasked with conducting a study on marijuana legalization to determine if recreational (adult-use) legalization is a reasonable choice for the state of Delaware. In March 2018, after much debate, the Delaware Adult Use Cannabis Task Force voted to release its final report on the study. Now the legislative consideration of House Bill 110 will proceed, which would legalize, regulate, and tax adults’ use of marijuana in a way similar to how the state regulates alcohol.
