A measure to legalize marijuana for recreational use in Delaware was released from a House committee Wednesday, the next step in the long process toward what advocates hope will be a historic occasion. After three hours of discussion and public testimony, the House Health & Human Development Committee approved the bill. It will likely be heard by the full House in late April or early May, per the main sponsor. House Bill 150 would let individuals age 21 and older buy up to 1 ounce of marijuana from licensed retail stores. The legislation would establish a 15% tax, though retailers would otherwise be able to set their own prices.
