Speak Up: Delaware governor vetoes bill to legalize marijuana

Gov. John Carney vetoed House Bill 371, further delaying marijuana legalization and regulation in the First State. HB 371 passed in both the House of Representatives and the Senate and would legalize the use of marijuana, removing penalties for the possession of 1 ounce or less, except for those who are under age 21. The bill was introduced alongside HB 372, which addresses the tax and regulation side of the legislation, after a previous legalization proposal, HB 305, was defeated March 10.
