13th March 2023
US - Delaware: House Bill (HB) 2 has passed the House and now heads to the Senate. HB 2, as a companion measure for HB 1, would set up a framework to regulate the growth, commercial sales and possession of adult-use cannabis.8th March 2023
US - Delaware: House Bill 1 has passed the House and now moves to the Senate. It would remove all penalties for possession, use, sharing and purchasing of up to 1 oz of cannabis and accessories by over-21s. The “personal use quantity” would be updated to include up to 1 oz of cannabis (including flowers and leaves), and equivalent amounts of cannabis products in other forms – up to 12 g of concentrated cannabis, or cannabis products containing up to 750 mg of delta-9 THC.
31st October 2022
- US - Delaware: Governor John Carney vetoed House Bill (HB) 276, which would have allowed medical cannabis patients to possess firearms. Federal law prohibits unlawful users of controlled substances from acquiring or possessing firearms. Since federal law prohibits cannabis for any purpose, this would apply to medical cannabis patients. HB 276 sought to make clear that such a restriction would not apply under state law to medical cannabis patients.
8th June 2022
- US - Delaware: The House was unable to override the governor's veto of House Bill (HB) 371, which would have removed all penalties for adult (21+) possession of up to 1 oz of cannabis. Therefore, the bill is dead.
25th May 2022
US - Delaware: House Bill 371, which would legalise the possession and sharing of up to 1 oz of cannabis by adults (21+), has been vetoed by governor John Carney. However, the bill garnered enough votes to override the governor’s veto, and the bill’s sponsor is weighing up the next steps, press reports.
20th May 2022
- US - Delaware: House Bill (HB) 372, a bill to legalise sales of recreational cannabis, fell short of the votes needed to pass and has failed. Although the vote was 23 in favour of passage, 15 against, and 3 abstentions, it fell short of the three-fifths necessary for passage. HB 371, a separate bill that would legalise the possession of up to 1 oz of cannabis by adults (21+) and would allow for gifting among adults if no form of remuneration is paid, has passed both chambers already and is awaiting the governor's signature.
13th May 2022
- US - Delaware: House Bill (HB) 371 was passed by the Senate and heads to the governor for final approval. HB 371 would legalise the possession of up to 1 oz of cannabis by adults (21+) and would allow for gifting among adults if no form of remuneration is paid. Under current law, the adult possession of up to 1 oz of cannabis subjects the possessor to a $100 fine.
6th May 2022
- US - Delaware: House Bill (HB) 371 was passed by the House and now heads to the Senate. The bill would allow adults (21+) to legally possess up to 1 oz of cannabis and share it with other adults without compensation. HB 371, however, includes certain restrictions against "gifting" cannabis in transactions. HB 372, a separate bill by the same sponsor that would create a legal market for recreational cannabis, is just behind HB 371, making its way through House committees.
11th March 2022
- US - Delaware: House Bill 305, which would have legalised the sale of recreational cannabis in the state, failed yesterday to pass the House of Representatives.
