Mankin: Towns need to stay out of marijuana regulation

Posted

The selling of marijuana is legal in Delaware and regulated by the state. How is it that municipalities have the right to further restrict it?

It is a legal product subject to state-level regulations on when and where it can be sold. Just because a community doesn’t like it doesn’t mean they should be able to restrict it.

I am not a fan of fast food, and I think it’s poison for people. That doesn’t mean I am going to ask my town to ban the sale of it within town limits, though. The state needs a law to prevent towns from interfering with lawful commerce just because they don’t like the product.
